Ah, I believe that would be this image from a college course.

I always wondered why I always had a hard time making developers not call "if" a "loop".
Turns out it was on their tests.

Glad I didn't read my college material, or I would have lost faith in my college professors.

It just occurred to that in Yorkshire dialect a while loop would actually be an until loop. Directives to the rescue!
