Break Statement Property

If there is a break statement at the current line and tab at time t, then at time t + 1, update the break state to "breaking." More formally,

if the following are true:

  • the line at time t = i
  • the tab at time t = j
  • statement at line i, tab j = break

then "break" state at (t + 1) = "breaking"

When LW Python encounters a break statement, it will set the break state to "breaking," which signals LW Python to decrease the tab number until it finds a "while" statement.

For example,

if the following are true:

  • the line at time 88 = 6
  • the tab at time 88 = 2
  • statement at line 6, tab 2 = break

then "break" state at (88 + 1) = "breaking"

Try stepping through the simulator to see the "Break State" change to "breaking."
