Chapter 17 repeat loops

A repeat loop performs an operation until it is deliberately stopped.

One may either use Escape to halt it, or more adequately, use break.

repeat {
  expression
  if {
    condition
  } break
}

If you attempt to run the following chunk of code using repeat, it will display the result until you press Escape.

repeat {
    print("Press 'Esc' to stop me!")
}

[1] "Press 'Esc' to stop me!"
[1] "Press 'Esc' to stop me!"
...
...
[1] "Press 'Esc' to stop me!"
