Mathematica has a built-in While[test,body] stucture where the test is evaluated
and if true, body is evaluated until test fails.
I would like an Until structure where the body is evaluated until a test is
true. Logically,
Until[test_,body_]:=body:
While[Not[test],body]
but the above code doesn't work. I am guessing it has something
to do with a Hold-type attribute, but I haven't been able to figure it out. Does
anyone know how to conventiently make a new construct like the Until structure
above? Related is how can I make my own function which will accept as an
argument an expression like Integrate accepts for its first argument? Thanks.
Sean.
