Printf() in loops

[Twinny]

Using printf() in loops seems to break the loop.

PHP Code:

function onCreated()
{
  this.array ={"I","really","really","like","pie"};
  for (temp.t : this.array)
    printf("[Blah?]: %s",temp.t);
  echo("--");
  for (temp.t : this.array)
    echo(format("[Blah?]: %s",temp.t));  
} 


echos

PHP Code:

[Blah?]: I
--
[Blah?]: I
[Blah?]: really
[Blah?]: really
[Blah?]: like
[Blah?]: pie 


Any idea why printf is breaking the loop? This was tested on Zodiac.

Weird

function onCreated()
{
  temp.myARRAY = {"hey", "hi", "test"};
  for (temp.currentWord: temp.myARRAY)
  {
    printf(temp.currentWord);
    printf("Called");
  }
  printf("Done");
}

It displays each one that is called.

Also, why're you using printf?

[Twinny]

Printf is a combination of echo() and format(): It is quite handy. P.s. did you actually test that code?

[Chandler]

I tested mine, why?

[Twinny]

I tested your code on two seperate servers and the results were:

PHP Code:

hey
Called
Done 


Signifying that there is a problem with printf() and loops. Well, I went straight to the source.

Oh, I didn't word it right.
I got the same as you, however it doesn't break the current loop. [It carries on...]

Yes, it breaks the loop and carries on with the rest of the script . It only echos "Called" once after all.

When will the next client be released? (It happens both clientside and serverside)

Client - probably in a few weeks
Server - already uploaded to all machines
