public class Repeat
extends Instruction

An AST (abstract syntax tree) for a SLogo REPEAT instruction. A REPEAT instruction has two components: (1) an expression representing the number of times to repeat the instructions that follow and (2) a strict instruction list that is the list of instructions that will be (repeatedly) executed.

To evaluate a REPEAT instruction the expression is evaluated first, this determines the number of times the instruction list is executed. This instruction list is executed the appropriate number of times.

The value returned by evaluating a REPEAT instruction is the last value returned by evaluating the instruction list.
