Exercise 2.2 – converting loops

In this exercise, we will convert a functioning while loop into a repeat loop. Both loops are very similar. In the Programming loops section, we explained the difference between both. Take a look at the following code snippet:

local spawnLocation = workspace.SpawnLocation
while true do
    spawnLocation.Orientation += Vector3.new(0, 1, 0)
    task.wait()
end

This code snippet rotates SpawnLocation in the Workspace. Feel free to run this script before you convert it.

Exercise:

• Convert the preceding code snippet into a repeat loop.
• What is different about the condition of the repeat loop compared to the while loop, and why?

Play the game and make sure the spawn location rotates. If the Output frame displays any errors, try to fix them. An example answer to this exercise can be found on the GitHub page for this book:
