Document Summary
A loop is a programming item with the ability to compare items. The increment (++) and decrement (--) operator will decrement or increment the values stored in the variable by 1 as the name implies. A type of loop called the for loop executes a block of statements a certain number of times. The for loop is given by initialization, condition, and variable change. The variables found within the loops are considered to be local and will not exist outside of the loop. If the condition evaluated within the loop is true the loop continues, otherwise its false and will stop. The third expression is executed at the end of each iteration. The three control statements don"t necessarily have to be within the for loop, but the one thing that must exist is the two ;; within the for loop parenthesis.
