Loops/Break

Loops/Break
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

Show a loop which prints random numbers (each number newly generated each loop) from 0 to 19 (inclusive). If a number is 10, stop the loop after printing it, and do not generate any further numbers. Otherwise, generate and print a second random number before restarting the loop. If the number 10 is never generated as the first number in a loop, loop forever.

Ada

<lang Ada> with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO; with Ada.Numerics.Discrete_Random;

procedure Test_Loop_Break is

  type Value_Type is range 1..20;
  package Random_Values is new Ada.Numerics.Discrete_Random (Value_Type);
  use Random_Values;
  Dice : Generator;
  A, B : Value_Type;

begin

  loop
     A := Random (Dice);
     Put_Line (Value_Type'Image (A));
     exit when A = 10;
     B := Random (Dice);
     Put_Line (Value_Type'Image (B));
  end loop;

end Test_Loop_Break; </lang>

AutoHotkey

<lang AutoHotkey> Loop {

 Random, var, 0, 19
 output = %output%`n%var%
 If (var = 10)
   Break
 Random, var, 0, 19
 output = %output%`n%var%

} MsgBox % output </lang>

BASIC

Works with: QuickBasic version 4.5

<lang qbasic>do

   a = int(rnd * 20)
   print a
   if a = 10 then exit loop 'EXIT FOR works the same inside FOR loops
   b = int(rnd * 20)
   print b

   while (1) {
       a = rand() % 20; /* not exactly uniformly distributed, but doesn't matter */
       printf("%d\n", a);
       if (a == 10) break;
       b = rand() % 20; /* not exactly uniformly distributed, but doesn't matter */
       printf("%d\n", b);
   }

       x = r.natural(20);
       Stdout (x) (" ");
       if (x == 10) break;
       Stdout (r.natural(20)).newline;
   }

}</lang>

E

<lang e>while (true) {

   def a := entropy.nextInt(20)
   print(a)
   if (a == 10) {
       println()
       break
   }
   println(" ", entropy.nextInt(20))

}</lang>

Forth
