FOR forcontrol instructionlist (library procedure) command. The first input must be a list containing three or four members: (1) a word, which will be used as the name of a local variable; (2) a word or list that will be evaluated as by RUN to determine a number, the starting value of the variable; (3) a word or list that will be evaluated to determine a number, the limit value of the variable; (4) an optional word or list that will be evaluated to determine the step size. If the fourth member is missing, the step size will be 1 or -1 depending on whether the limit value is greater than or less than the starting value, respectively. The second input is an instructionlist. The effect of FOR is to run that instructionlist repeatedly, assigning a new value to the control variable (the one named by the first member of the forcontrol list) each time. First the starting value is assigned to the control variable. Then the value is compared to the limit value. FOR is complete when the sign of (current - limit) is the same as the sign of the step size. (If no explicit step size is provided, the instructionlist is always run at least once. An explicit step size can lead to a zero-trip FOR, e.g., FOR [I 1 0 1] ...) Otherwise, the instructionlist is run, then the step is added to the current value of the control variable and FOR returns to the comparison step. ? for [i 2 7 1.5] [print :i] 2 3.5 5 6.5 ?
