REPEAT...UNTIL

This instruction define a conditional loop, or a list of statements that will be executed until an expression is true. REPEAT acts as the starting position while UNTIL as the ending one. This command provides a convenient way of making the program repeat a group of instructions all the time a particular condition is false. The condition is checked again at ending of every turn of the loop, until it is no longer false.
