Purpose
Repeats a substitution in a
for loop.Syntax
for ( expression ; expression ; expression) statement end
Description
You can use the
for statement just as in C or JavaScript. However, in contrast to C, you cannot list several expressions separated by commas.Examples
The use of the
for loop can be illustrated by the following examples:`for (j = 10; j > 0; j--)` <td> `end`
`for (j = 1; j <= array.dim ; j++)`
array[`j`]=`array[j]`
`end`
`for (a = "a"; a != "aaaa"; a = a & "a") a end`
