[RESOLVED] While Loop Problem

[Mythrandil]

I have a pretty simple while loop:

While (UBound(LUpper) > 1) And (Cross_product(LUpper(UBound(LUpper) - 2), LUpper(UBound(LUpper) - 1), LUpper(UBound(LUpper))) >= 0)
     Delete_Element LUpper, UBound(LUpper) - 1
Wend

Problem is if a situation arises where Ubound(LUpper) = 1. Rather than moving on as the first paramater of the while loop fails, vb still tries to evaluate the parameters of cross_product function, and in the case of Ubound(LUpper) = 1 the first parameter is subscript out of range.

Is there a way to stop vb evaluating parameters despite the fact their state isn't relevant, or is there another way around forming a while loop to acheive my goal?

Im quite stressed atm so sorry if the solution is obvious, not thinking str8

thanks in advance!

Since there's no short-circut evaluation in VB, you might just have to have two exit points from the loop. Something like:

Do While (UBound(LUpper) > 1)
  If (Cross_product(LUpper(UBound(LUpper) - 2), LUpper(UBound(LUpper) - 1), LUpper(UBound(LUpper))) >= 0) Then
    Exit Do
  End If
  
   Delete_Element LUpper, UBound(LUpper) - 1
Loop

Ah thats a alternative solution, many thanks!
