> Hi, I am looking to repeatedly apply a verb on itself until a certain value
> is reached, with the prior knowledge that there are two values that can be
> reached. The idea is to count how many times one of the two values comes up.
> I know about the power verb but I'm not sure how to use it properly beyond
> the simple v^:n y form. I've read about using it like a C while loop but in
> my case, there are two values I want to 'exit the loop' with.
>
> Any pointers? Thanks.
