Iterations and temporizations

Usually commands are executed immediately, but you can delay or periodically repeat a finite or infinite number of times.

Iterations

• * (loop)
• ^n (repeat n times)
• ^ (loop)

Temporizations

Periodic operators:

• #t (loop every t seconds)
• #t ^n (repeat n times every t seconds)

Delayed operator:

• ##d (run once in d seconds)
• ## (run once at the next cycle, after about 1/10 of a second. Used in finite state automata)

Example:

Compositions

Previous operators can be combined in the following ways:

• instruction * ##d (loop in d seconds)
• instruction ^ ##d (loop in d seconds)
• instruction ^n ##d (repeat n times in d seconds)
• instruction #t ##d (loop every t seconds in d seconds)
• instruction #t ^n ##d (repeat n times every t seconds in d seconds)
