Description:
Start a loop.
Syntax:
for x
Note:
The statement starts a loop executing the code block.
Parameter:
|
x |
A sequence, an integer, or a logic expression. Loop through the code block against x or to(x), or if x is true. If x is empty, then the loop will be endless |
Example:
x is an integer:
|
|
A |
B |
|
|
1 |
|
|
Save the cumulative total 55 in A1. |
|
2 |
for 10 |
|
|
|
3 |
|
>A1=A1+A2 |
Add up integers from 1 to 10.
|
x is empty:

|
A |
B |
C |
|
|
1 |
=0 |
|
|
5050. |
|
2 |

|
|
Loop will be endless if x is empty. When the loop count reaches 100, then break the loop. |
|

|
>A1=A1+#A2 |
|
|
|
4 |
|
if #A2==100 |
break |
|
x is a Boolean expression:
|
|
A |
B |
|
|
1 |
=15 |
|
|
|
2 |
for A1>10 |
|
If A1 >10, then start a loop through the code block; otherwise, quit the loop. |

|
>B1=B1+#A2 |

4 |
|
>A1=A1-1 |

|
|
|
3 |
for A2 |
=age(A3.BIRTHDAY) |
