simple while loop not printing out value
-
can somebody tell me why the code below will not spit out the number values?
Declare @count int
set @Count = 1
while @Count = 3
Begin
set @Count = @Count + 1
print @Count
End
-
first of all you set count = 1 and count never got to the while loop of count = 3 so that's why it never print.
try another way:
--------
Declare @count int
set @Count = 1
while @Count < 5
Begin
set @Count = @Count + 1
if (@count = 3) print @Count
End

Is this some homework or you need this to go on a production server??

I thought the same thing, but try this:
DECLARE @Count integer
SET @Count = 1
WHILE @Count < 3
BEGIN
SET @Count = @Count + 1
PRINT @Count
END
Output
2
3
I think it is the equality. The only time I could find in BOL an equality with a WHILE was: WHILE( @@FETCH_STATUS = 0). WHILE does not seem to be able to handle a staight equality, hence your use of an IF statement...
I cannot answer the question, but it does pose an interesting conundrum.

Hey bull, how you doing
??DECLARE @Count as integer
DECLARE @Done as bit
SET @Count = 0
SET @Done = 0
WHILE @Done = 0
BEGIN
SET @Count = @Count + 1
IF @Count = 3
BEGIN
SET @Done = 1
END
PRINT @Count
END

Hi Remi - busy...
While that works, it does not answer the question.
Why is WHILE @Count = 3 not PRINTING? It requires an IF to work...

SET @Count = 1
...
while @Count = 3
since when does 1=3???

Like I said, I wasn't born stupid... I have to work at this!!!!
I am too involved in something else and wasn't thinking... Glad to be the butt of humor on this one...
Enjoy
