Talking about useless code obfuscation  |

But it's faster than the IF/THEN/ELSE construct

It's also necessary for one-liners. |

Nah, that is not obfuscation... how about this:
1 loop=5
2 ONERRORGOTO2:POKE-2373,0
3 loop=LO-1
4 ' Do all the fun things here.
5 if lollipop > mouth then we must be happy!

NYYRIKKI: what's that poke actually doing?

LOL... nifty trick there again, NYYRIKKI. 
[D-Tail]: [hint]convert that address to a 16-bit hexadecimal value and look it up in some system variables list[/hint]  |

That poke makes sure, that we are not in error handler to avoid error message.
BTW this code does not seem to work. It seems, that mouth is not big enough, so... to correct this problem, you must change mouth to head in line 5. |

What's the program supposed to do anyway? I doesn't do much here. With mouth it hangs (probably repeating errors) and with head it just finishes. That's probably the idea: it finishes while it has some utter crap in it |

manuel: This is not a program. This is just one possible solution to question: "How do i create a loop using MSX BASIC?" Maybe not the most obvious one, but solution anyway...
