Each service is named after the step it demonstrates the usage of. Simply run these services to familiarize yourself with the different step types; line comments are provided for further explanation1.

No BreakStep.gloop?

The break step example is already included in the WhileBreakStep.gloop service as by itself, a break step cannot demonstrate its intended use.

  1. Open the service file to see comments. Make sure comments are also not hidden. ↩
