project Q1 Project Wording (both)

2:43pm Wed 9th Oct, ANONYMOUS

Hi, In this section of the specification: "An augmented command contains a normal command (as defined in version 1.7 of the language, in section 4.1), followed by an optional “when” condition and an optional “until” condition (in that order)." Does this mean that a "when" condition can happen without an "until" condition, and vice versa, or do they both happen or not? I am a bit confused by the word "and" here and wanted to confirm. Is this supposed to be part of interpreting the specification? Thank you

Hi,

In this section of the specification:

"An augmented command contains a normal command (as defined in version 1.7 of the language, in section 4.1), followed by an optional “when” condition and an optional “until” condition (in that order)."

Does this mean that a "when" condition can happen without an "until" condition, and vice versa, or do they both happen or not? I am a bit confused by the word "and" here and wanted to confirm. Is this supposed to be part of interpreting the specification?

It's up to you to use your best judgement in interpreting the spec. At least one of the interpretations you've mentioned, though, sounds like it is flatly contradicted by the project spec, and so shouldn't ever be a consideration. If you can email me explaining exactly what word or words in the spec are confusing you, I'll see if I think it's worth amending the spec to clarify.

Cheers

Arran
