While Loop with two conditions

[LC_12355277]

Hi All,

I am trying to use a While Loop with two conditions, something like below:

while (x > 10) ^ (y < 100)

...

but Mathcad 15 only goes through the loop once and does not execute the iterations. If I use only one condition check, it works fine. Could someone let me know if it is correct to do what I show above?

Thank you.

Obviously one of your two conditions linked with logical 'and' is not fulfilled after the first loop pass, so that no further passes are made.

To get a qualified answer to your question, you would have to specify in more detail what exactly you are doing and, of course, attach your worksheet here.

Thanks Werner_E, for your quick response. One of the two conditions is a loop counter. I inadventantly initialized it outside the solve block. After I moved this initialzation into the solve block, it works now. I do not know why that would make a difference. Thanks again,

Frankly, I can't make much sense of your description of the situation and I don't know how your question about a while loop suddenly has anything to do with solve block.
Therefore, I can't say anything about why the assignment to a worksheet variable changes the behavior of your program.

The while loop is used to iteratively solve an equation. When I said a solve block, I meant inside the while loop.
