Continuing Line Property

If the "continue" state is "continuing" and Python is inside an "if/elif/else" block at time t, then at time t + 1, line number remains the same. More formally,

if the following are true:

  • the line at time t = i
  • the tab at time t = j
  • "continue" state at t = "continuing"
  • value at (j - 1) in map (Control Map at time t) = control_value
  • control_value describes a loop = False

then the line at time (t + 1) = i

While LW Python is in the "continuing" state, the line number will stay the same until LW Python finds a "while" statement on the parent tab (current tab - 1).

For example,

if the following are true:

  • the line at time 36 = 6
  • the tab at time 36 = 2
  • "continue" state at 36 = "continuing"
  • value at (2 - 1) in map (Control Map at time 36) = pair ("if", True)

then the line at time (36 + 1) = 6

Try stepping through the simulator to see "Current Line" remain at 6 while the "Current Tab" decreases.
