(loop while (hungry-p) do (eat)) ;; UNTIL NOT is equivalent to WHILE. (loop until (not (hungry-p)) do (eat)) ;; Collect the length and the items of STACK. (let ((stack '(a b c d e f))) (loop for item = (length stack) then (pop stack) collect item while stack)) ⇒ (6 A B C D E F) ;; Use WHILE to terminate a loop that otherwise wouldn't terminate. ;; Note that WHILE occurs after the WHEN. (loop for i fixnum from 3 when (oddp i) collect i while (< i 5)) ⇒ (3 5)
