for, next

The for/next commands are used to execute a set of instruction a specified number of times.

The syntax is:

for <variable> = start to end

statements

An example:

for X = 1 to 10 ; X counts up each loop

A = A + 1

If end is greater than start, the count will increment by one each loop. If the start is greater

than end the count will decrement by one each loop;

for X = 10 to 1 ; X counts down each loop

A = A + 1

for, next loops may be nested like this:

for X = 1 to 10 ; outer loop

for Y = 1 to 10 ; inner loop

A = A + 1 ; A gets incremented 100 times (10 loops of 10)
