[REBOL] Re: Clunky-looking code

Hi Colin,

This may be neater... Matter of opinion really. multiply-blocks: func [ block-1 [block!] block-2 [block!] ][ sum: make integer! 0 while [and not tail? block-1 not tail? block-2][ sum: add sum ((first block-1) * (first block-2)) block-1: next block-1 block-2: next block-2 ] return sum ] Actually, its a fair bit longer than your suggestions - but it is an alternative :o) - Chris
