looping-loop's Introduction

The `loop` Construct

Objectives

Understand how the loop construct works
Build a method that utilizes the loop construct

Introduction

The first looping construct that we'll discuss is loop. This is the simplest looping construct that we have in Ruby. It simply executes a block (the code that is between the do and end keywords). Try this in IRB in your Terminal:

loop do
  puts "I have found the Time Machine!"
end

This will output I have found the Time Machine! an infinite number of times in your Terminal. Use Control+C to break out of the loop in your terminal.

Instructions

This is the first in a series of short exercises to help you get the hang of looping constructs.

There are no tests for this lab, so code your solution in looping.rb:
- It's your first class in driving school and you're trying to remember important rules of the road. Fill out the content of the method looping to contain a loop that puts the phrase "Never pass a school bus if it has flashing red lights" an infinite number of times.
- Beneath your method definition, call your method by typing the name of the method, looping.
Then, run the file by typing ruby looping.rb in your terminal from the directory of this lab. You'll be stuck in an infinite levitation loop! Hit Control+C to exit the infinite loop.

looping-loop's Issues

Can't fork labs beyond "Looping - Loop Constructor"

I can't seem to fork this lab and any labs past.

I get the following error message:

Looking for lesson...
WARNING: You are attempting to open a lesson that is beyond your curr
ent lesson.
Are you sure you want to continue? [Yn]:

Seems like other people may be running into the same issue. Please help! Thank you =]

Is this section meant to have a lab?

Lab repo can't be found

When I click open on this lesson I get this: Looking for lesson... WARNING: You are attempting to open a lesson that is beyond your current lesson. Are you sure you want to continue? [Yn]: Y Opening readme... logout [Process completed] *Then it takes me to the learn website and says Lesson "Looping Lab" is unpublished

Screenshot from Nitrous:

No way to submit pull request or mark "I'm done"

The title indicates this is a lab, but there does not seem to be anything to do.

Repl this? (by aenbar)

@SophieDeBenedetto

Adam left a comment on the 000 repo:

This might be better to do in a repl. Or just add a test? feels weird to have labs without tests.

Objectives typo

in the very top

this is a new reading/repl

This is NOT a repl b/c repl can't test puts. I'm re-doing all looping repls as short and simple labs.

These are not ready to deploy as soon as I get some 👀

@jmburges

No "Open" that clones and opens Learn IDE

Lab can't be cloned from this page. Users can only click "finished reading."

Lesson is broken, cannot 'submit'

Cannot submit the assignment. "Finished Reading" button is also ghosted out.

Looping Lab Wording Confusion

The instructions say "There are no tests for this lab, so code your solution in looping.rb" which can lead to people looking for that looping.rb file. The file does not exist as this lab only uses the SANDBOX and the student has to create the file. To avoid confusion it should be said that the file needs to be created.

This is a lab but is showing up as a README

Needs to be toggled

Problem when I hit "Open"

When I hit Open, the terminal opens and I get the following error:

Last login: Fri Nov 6 18:48:06 on ttys000
/tmp/tmp_open.sh ; exit;
[18:49:42] ~
// ♥ /tmp/tmp_open.sh ; exit;
Looking for lesson...
WARNING: You are attempting to open a lesson that is beyond your current lesson.

[Process completed]
It also opens another tab that contains this error:
Lesson 'Looping Lab' is unpublished.

Thanks!

Control + C does not exit out of an infinite loop!

Please update the README for this lab. Despite what the instructions say at the bottom, "Ctrl C" will not exit out of the infinite loop when you run "ruby looping.rb". As far as I can tell, the only way to exit out of the infinite loop is to refresh the page.

Thank you for looking into this!

LOOPING - LOOP CONSTRUCTOR

This lesson did not open properly for me when I tried to fork the lab. It gives me this message in the terminal:

Looking for lesson...
WARNING: You are attempting to open a lesson that is beyond your current lesson.
Are you sure you want to continue? [Yn]:

The following lesson opens properly.

Write tests

Can you detail the issue here for how specifically to make to a lab @pletcher

No Objectives

@SophieDeBenedetto

Lesson toolbar should stay locked at the top of page

Regression. Used to stay locked. Now scrolls away.

Trouble Opening the Looping Lab

Finished the previous lesson, made typical motions to commence next lesson using the Learn app. All seemed well-- the forking, the cloning-- but then received terminal warning that I am "attempting to open a lesson that is beyond your current lesson. Are you sure you want to continue? [Yn]"

I ignore the error and input "Y," but then am redirected to a page (https://learn.co/lessons/13157) that indicates that the Looping Lab has not yet been published. This page invites me to continue on to the next lesson-- the Looping Lab. Sending me into a loop of my own...

Have tried cloning and opening manually (i.e. via my terminal), but no dice.

No IDE button on this lab

Lesson is broken

Lesson lists itself as unpublished. It cannot be forked but not opened.

It says WARNING: You are attempting to open a lesson that is beyond your current lesson.
Are you sure you want to continue? [Yn]:

It doesnt make sense but even if I say Y it bring me to another screen that doesnt have a lesson. This should be looked at.

Thank you

yank out the comments

Hopefully they know where to put their code by now. If not LEARN(.co) :)

"No spec file"

There seem to be two versions of this exercise:

looping-loop-v-000 (which is what you get when clicking on Nitrous from the lesson)

and

looping-loop-001-prework-web (which is what I got if I click on GitHub from the lesson)

Problem is: looping-loop-v-000 doesn't run in Nitrous: "This directory doesn't appear to have any specs in it."

Looping - Loop Constructor

I have completed all the previous exercises and when I try to open this lab I get the following error.

You are attempting to open a lesson that is beyond your current lesson.
Are you sure you want to continue? [Yn]:

When I press Y, it directs me to the Learn Web Development Fundamentals where it says:

You do not have access to this lesson.

How can I fix this? I tried doing lessons over but still it doesn't let me open this lab. All the previous readings and exercises are complete.

Broken exercise

This exercise does not work. Can someone please fix this?
