For

The For( token is used to repeat code a certain amount of times, while using a variable as a counter. It must be paired with an End and has two different syntax forms, the second with a minor difference. The first one is For(VAR,START,END), with VAR being the variable to use in the loop, START being an expression stating the starting value of VAR, and END being an expression stating the ending value of VAR. A For( loop will first store the starting entry in VAR and check if VAR is now greater than END. If VAR is not greater than END, the code in it's loop will be run. At the end, VAR is incremented by 1, and the greater than check is done again. The loop will continue repeating until VAR is greater than END.

The second syntax form of For( is For(VAR,START,END,INCREMENT). VAR, START, and END are the same as in the first syntax form, and the INCREMENT is an expression that will be added to VAR at the end of each loop. That allows you to increment the counter by more than just one at a time. If you use a negative constant (no vars, as this is done at compile time) for INCREMENT, the loop will continue until VAR is END. Example:

For(A,1,20
    ClrHome
    Disp A
    Pause 200
End

The example will first display 1 to the screen, then pause for 200 milliseconds (⅕ of a second), and continue through the loop, displaying the value of A as it increments. After it displays 20 to the screen, the program exists as the loop finishes and there is no more code after the loop.
