Repeating Code

VEX V5 General Discussion General Forum
1

Does anyone know how to make sections of code repeat themselves? Or do you just have to keep re-writing the section of code over and over and over and over and over…?

2

make a while loop and put the repeating stuff in it (while==1) Or (1==1)

3

or if you want to repeat a certain number of times

int repeatThisNumberOfTimes = 5; //this is how many times to repeat

for (int i = 0; i < repeatThisNumberOfTimes; i++){
//code here
}

in this case the best resource would be to read the easyC help files (or MPLAB guide) on “for” and “while” loops

You can also create user functions which I’m guessing is what you really want to do.

Say I want to have the robot back up and turn left every once in a while. So I right click on functions, click “create new function”. Now in that I place the back up and turn left blocks. Now every time I want the robot to back up and turn left I place that “block” or function into the code.
