This section provides a tutorial example on how to use 'For ... Next' statements to repeat a block of statements.
To help you understand how "For ... Next" statements work, I wrote the following the example, loop_for.html:
<html>
<body>
<!-- loop_for.html
- Copyright (c) 2015, HerongYang.com, All Rights Reserved.
-->
<pre>
<script language="vbscript">
document.writeln("")
For i = 3 To 30 Step 2
bIsPrime = True
For j = 2 To i\2
bIsPrime = i Mod j > 0
If Not bIsPrime Then Exit For
Next
If bIsPrime Then
document.writeln("Found a prime number: " & i)
End If
Next
</script>
</pre>
</body>
</html>
Here is the output:
Found a prime number: 3
Found a prime number: 5
Found a prime number: 7
Found a prime number: 11
Found a prime number: 13
Found a prime number: 17
Found a prime number: 19
Found a prime number: 23
Found a prime number: 29
The output looks good. Some notes about the sample script:
Nested loops, one loop inside another loop, are used.
The outer loop goes through integers between 3 and 20, and skips even numbers with "Step 2"
The inner loop goes determines if the current integer "i" is a prime or not
The inner loop has a conditional "Exit For" statement to terminate the loop as soon as
"i" has been determined as a non-prime number.
