"for" Loop Statement

This section describes what is a 'for' loop statement in H language.

A "for" loop statement is a statement that executes a sub-statement repeatedly for each element from a given array.

A "for" loop statement has the following syntax:

$for x $in array, sub-statement;

Examples of "for" loop statements are:

$for x $in array(1,2,3,4,5), write("x = "+x);

list = range(1,100);
sum = 0;
$for x $in list, sum = sum + x;

# the following loop prints the first 3 items 
# from a shopping list
$for x $in array(0,1,2), (
   item = shoppingList[x];
   write("Item "+(x+1)+": "+item);
);
