<h1>for, next</h1>

<p>
Repeats.
</p>

<pre class="macro-syntax">
for &lt;intvar&gt; &lt;first&gt; &lt;last&gt;<br>
  ...<br>
  ...<br>
next
</pre>

<h2>Remarks</h2>

<p>
Repeats the statements between "for" and "next" until the integer variable &lt;intvar&gt; has the value &lt;last&gt; at the 'next' statement.<br>
The initial value of the &lt;intvar&gt; is &lt;first&gt;. If &lt;last&gt; is greater than &lt;first&gt;, &lt;intvar&gt; is incremented by 1 at the 'next' line. If &lt;last&gt; is less than &lt;first&gt;, &lt;intvar&gt; is decremented by 1 at the 'next' line.
</p>

<h2>Example</h2>

<pre class="macro-example">
; Repeat ten times.
for i 1 10
  sendln 'abc'
next

; Repeat five times.
for i 5 1
  sendln 'abc'
next
</pre>
