1. Re: Why doesn't this work?
Hi Alan,
I am new to Euphoria myself, but I think I can see two problems with
your code fragment. First, Euphoria automagically declares loop
variables, so your statement "atom prompt_loop" is redundant and causes
the redeclaration error. Second, the correct syntax for the "for"
statement is "for var = x to y do". You left out the "do" keyword. Hope
this helps!
