Simkin for Statement

This statement allows you step through the a set of statements a certain number of times.

The statement has 2 main sections:

  1. the for section specifies the start and end values, and optionally, the step value. The for loop will start at the start value, and end at the end value minus the step value. If a step value is not given it is assumed to be 1.

  2. this is followed by a block of statements to be executed for time through the loop

Here are some examples: 

for i=1 to 10 {
trace(i);
}
This will print out: 
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
This one steps downwards: 
for i=10 to 0 step -1 {
trace(i);
}
This will print out: 
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
