Not much detail here.

One possibility is that you are forgetting that

if generationnum == 2

can only mean

if generationnum[1] == 2

Hi all, I'm trying to figure out how to break out of a loop once a
variable is changed to a certain value. In each iteration, the value
is modified according to the inputs within the loop. I've tried to use
an "if" command:

if generationnum==2 {
       continue, break
       }

but it's still not terminating the loop. Does anybody know of a
command to terminate a loop once a specified calculated number is
reached?
