Basic MADS question - Repeat

[Pengwin]

I am trying to work my way through the 'translated' MADS documentation, but the 'repeat' instructions are just notmaking sense to me.

 

Could some explain how to repeat a line of code? So I don't need to put in things like:

 

lsr
lsr
lsr
lsr

 

or do that I could create a macro to repeat something x amount of times using a parameter?

From what I can see in the docs

 

:4 lsr

Thanks, that was it

or for more complex stuff use .REPT/ENDR with preset parameters based on the iteration count (#)

 

.rept 4,#,#*2

lda $1000+:1

sta $2000+:2

.endr

 

 

=>

 

4 4000 AD 00 10 lda $1000+0

5 4003 8D 00 20 sta $2000+0

4 4006 AD 01 10 lda $1000+1

5 4009 8D 02 20 sta $2000+2

4 400C AD 02 10 lda $1000+2

5 400F 8D 04 20 sta $2000+4

4 4012 AD 03 10 lda $1000+3

5 4015 8D 06 20 sta $2000+6

Nice, didn't know that you can use parameters with .REPT (I would have used # and #*2 directly in the inside).

 

You can also use the iteration count # with the other format:

 

:4 sta $2000+#*2

 

==>

 

sta $2000

sta $2002

sta $2004

sta $2006

 

Sometime ago I would have liked to nest .REPT statements, but I couldn't .. I don't know if it's possible now (but you can use the :n format inside a .REPT)
