Hello,

I try to solve a adventofcode challenge where I must find out when santa is first at the basement. the floor is there -1.
So I thought I use a while loop like this :

santaFloorOnBasement
    "calculates which step take Santa to the basement"
     | index|
     index := 1.
     ??? when: (floor >=0 ) do:
        [ floor := (input at: index = '(' )
                ifTrue: [ floor + 1 ]
                ifFalse: [ floor - 1 ].
         index := index + 1 ].

but I cannot find out what must be instead of the ??

index is the index of the string which has to start with a 1.
floor  and input are both instance variables. floor contains the current floor and input the input of the challenge.

Can someone help me figure this out so the next time I can do this on my own.

Roelof
