Ada

The FOR loop construct in Ada does not give the programmer the ability to directly modify the loop control variable during the execution of the loop. Instead, a valid range must always be provided before entering a loop. Because exact adherence to the task is impossible, we have three versions to approximate a solution. Looper_1 goes through a range of values which are even. Looper_2 multiples each value by two. Looper_3 most closely adheres to the requirements of this task, and achieves this by using a second range for the indices.

ALGOL 60

'''for''' i:=5 '''step''' 5 '''until''' 25 '''do''' OUTINTEGER(i)

ALGOL 68

The ALGOL 68 "''universal''" '''for'''/'''while''' loop: [ '''for''' index ] [ '''from''' first ] [ '''by''' increment ] [ '''to''' last ] [ '''while''' condition ] '''do''' statements '''od''' The minimum form of a "loop clause" is thus: '''do''' statements '''od''' # an infinite loop #

The formal specification of ALGOL 68 states: '''for''' i '''from''' u1 '''by''' u2 '''to''' u3 '''while''' condition '''do''' action '''od''' "is thus equivalent to the following void-closed-clause:" '''begin''' '''int''' f:= u1, '''int''' b = u2, t = u3; step2: '''if''' (b > 0 ∧ f ≤ t) ∨ (b < 0 ∧ f ≥ t) ∨ b = 0 '''then''' '''int''' i = f; '''if''' condition '''then''' action; f +:= b; '''go''' '''to''' step2 '''fi''' '''fi''' '''end''' Note: Highlighting is as per the formal specification, c.f. [[:Category:ALGOL 68#Example of different program representations]].

There are several unusual aspects of the construct: ** only the ''''''do''' ~ '''od'''''' portion was compulsory, in which case the loop will iterate indefinitely. ** thus the clause ''''''to''' 100 '''do''' ~ '''od'''''', will iterate only 100 times. ** the '''while''' "syntactic element" allowed a programmer to break from a '''for''' loop early. eg '''int''' sum sq:=0; '''for''' i '''while''' sum sq ≠ 70 × 70 '''do''' sum sq +:= i ↑ 2 '''od'''

Subsequent "extensions" to the standard Algol68 allowed the '''to''' syntactic element to be replaced with '''upto''' and '''downto''' to achieve a small optimisation. The same compilers also incorporated:

  • '''until'''(C) - for late loop termination.
  • '''foreach'''(S) - for working on arrays in [[wp:Parallel computing|parallel]].

Delphi

Delphi's For loop doesn't support a step value. It would have to be simulated using something like a While loop.

program LoopWithStep;

{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}

var
  i: Integer;

  i:=2;
  while i <= 8 do begin
    WriteLn(i);
    Inc(i, 2);

E

There is no step in the standard numeric range object (a..b and a..!b) in E, which is typically used for numeric iteration. An ordinary while loop can of course be used:

var i := 2
while (i <= 8) {
    print(`$i, `)
    i += 2
}
println("who do we appreciate?")

A programmer frequently in need of iteration with an arbitrary step should define an appropriate range object:

def stepRange(low, high, step) {
    def range {
        to iterate(f) {
            var i := low
            while (i <= high) {
                f(null, i)
                i += step
            }
        }
    }
    return range
}

for i in stepRange(2, 9, 2) {
  print(`$i, `)
}
println("who do we appreciate?")

The least efficient, but perhaps convenient, solution is to iterate over successive integers and discard undesired ones:

for i ? (i %% 2 <=> 0) in 2..8 {
    print(`$i, `)
}
println("who do we appreciate?")

As a note, ? something is shorthand for:


print(1, something)
puts(1, "\n")

print() differs from puts() in that print() will print out the actual sequence it is given. If it is given an integer, or an atom (Any number that is not an integer), it will print those out as-is.

=={{header|Icon}} and {{header|Unicon}}== Icon and Unicon accomplish loop stepping through the use of a generator, the ternary operator to-by, and the every clause which forces a generator to consume all of its results. Because to-by is an operator it has precedence (just higher than assignments) and associativity (left) and can be combined with other operators.


   every 1 to 10 by 2                       # the simplest case that satisfies the task, step by 2

   every 1 to 10                            # no to, step is by 1 by default
   every EXPR1 to EXPR2 by EXPR3 do EXPR4   # general case - EXPRn can be complete expressions including other generators such as to-by, every's do is optional
   steps := [2,3,5,7]                       # a list
   every i := 1 to 100 by !steps            # . more complex, several passes with each step in the list steps, also we might want to know what value we are at
   every L[1 to 100 by 2]                   # as a list index
   every i := 1 to 100 by (k := !steps)     # . need () otherwise := generates an error
   every 1 to 5 to 10                       # simple case of combined to-by - 1,..,10, 2,..10, ..., 5,..,10
   every 1 to 15 by 2 to 5                  # combined to-by
   every (1 to 15 by 2) to 5                # . made explicit

   every writes( (TO_BY_EXPR) | "\n", " " ) # if you want to see how any of these work

The ability to combine to-by arbitrarily is quite powerful. Yet it can lead to unexpected results. In cases of combined to-by operators the left associativity seems natural where the by is omitted. In cases where the by is used it might seem more natural to be right associative. If in doubt parenthesize.

J

    ' who do we appreciate?' ,~ ":  2 * >: i.4
2 4 6 8 who do we appreciate?

Or, using an actual for loop:

   3 :0''
  r=.$0
  for_n. 2 * >: i.4 do.
    r=.r,n
  end.
  ' who do we appreciate?' ,~ ":n
)
2 4 6 8 who do we appreciate?

That said, note also that J's '''steps''' verb lets us specify how many steps to take:

   i:8
_8 _7 _6 _5 _4 _3 _2 _1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
   i:8j8
_8 _6 _4 _2 0 2 4 6 8

Or, if we prefer, we could borrow the definition of thru from the [[Loops/Downward_for#J|Downward for]] task and then filter for the desired values:

   thru=: <./ + i.@(+*)@-~

Example use:

   (#~ 0 = 2&|) 1 thru 20
2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20
   (#~ 0 = 3&|) 1 thru 20
3 6 9 12 15 18
   (#~ 1 = 3&|) 1 thru 20
1 4 7 10 13 16 19

And, of course, like filtering in any language, this approach supports non-constant step sizes:

   (#~ 1&p:) 1 thru 20
2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19

Java

for(int i = 2; i <= 8;i += 2){
   System.out.print(i + ", ");
}
System.out.println("who do we appreciate?");

JavaScript

var output = '',
    i;
for (i = 2; i <= 8; i += 2) {
   output += i + ', ';
}
output += 'who do we appreciate?';
document.write(output);

In a functional idiom of JavaScript, however, we will only be able to compose this computation within the superordinate expressions of our program if it has the the form of an expression returning a value, rather than that of a statement which fires off side-effects but returns no value.

Following the example of languages like Haskell and J on this page, we can begin by generating the stepped series as an expression. In functional JavaScript we will typically replace a state-changing loop with a non-mutating map or fold, writing, for example, something like:

// range(iMax)
// range(iMin, iMax)
// range(iMin, iMax, dI)
function range() {
  var lngArgs = arguments.length,
    lngMore = lngArgs - 1;

  iMin = lngMore ? arguments[0] : 1;
  iMax = arguments[lngMore ? 1 : 0];
  dI = lngMore > 1 ? arguments[2] : 1;

  return lngArgs ? Array.apply(null, Array(
    Math.floor((iMax - iMin) / dI) + 1
  )).map(function (_, i) {
    return iMin + (dI * i);
  }) : [];
}

console.log(
  range(2, 8, 2).join(', ') + ', who do we appreciate ?'
);

Output:

2, 4, 6, 8, who do we appreciate ?

A for loop

Str$(i) always return decimal separator as "." format$() use same as Locale number specify. So here we use "," from Locale 1036. Str$() place a space before number if it is positive. We can use str$(i, "") to trim lead space. Here we use a space in format$ before number (and for negative numbers)

For this task we use single float numbers, and we make the loop one time from lower to higher value, and one time form higher to lower value.

forstep(n=1,10,2,print(n))

The forstep construct is actually more powerful. For example, to print numbers with last digit relatively prime to 10:

forstep(n=1,100,[2,4,2,2],print(n))

If you need a stepping iterator, write one:

for(Lo,Hi,Step,Lo)  :- Step>0, Lo=<Hi.
for(Lo,Hi,Step,Val) :- Step>0, plus(Lo,Step,V), V=<Hi, !, for(V,Hi,Step,Val).

example :-
  for(0,10,2,Val), write(Val), write(' '), fail.
example.
?- example.
0 2 4 6 8 10
true.

Adding the following two rules lets you go backwards too:

for(Hi,Lo,Step,Hi)  :- Step<0, Lo=<Hi.
for(Hi,Lo,Step,Val) :- Step<0, plus(Hi,Step,V), Lo=<V, !, for(V,Lo,Step,Val).

For Rust 1.28 and later:

fn main() {
  for i in (2..=8).step_by(2) {
    print!("{}", i);
  }
  println!("who do we appreciate?!");
}

An alternative which also works in earlier versions of Rust:

fn main() {
    let mut i = 2;
    while i <= 8 {
        print!("{}, ", i);
        i += 2;
    }
    println!("who do we appreciate?!");
}

Sather

See [[Loops/For#Sather]]: the implementation for for! allows to specify a step, even though the built-in stepto! can be used; an example of usage could be simply:

    i :INT;
    loop
      i := for!(1, 50, 2);
      -- OR
      -- i := 1.stepto!(50, 2);
      #OUT + i + "\n";
    end;

(Print all odd numbers from 1 to 50)

Scala

for (i <- 2 to 8 by 2) println(i)

Alternatively:

(2 to 8 by 2) foreach println

Scheme

The built-in ''for''-like form in Scheme is the ''do'' form:

(do ((i 2 (+ i 2)))  ; list of variables, initials and steps -- you can iterate over several at once
  ((>= i 9))         ; exit condition
  (display i)        ; body
  (newline))

Some people prefer to use the recursive-style and more flexible named let form:

(let loop ((i 2))            ; function name, parameters and starting values
  (cond ((< i 9)
         (display i)
         (newline)
         (loop (+ i 2))))))  ; tail-recursive call, won't create a new stack frame

You can add to the language by wrapping the loop in a function:

(define (for-loop start end step func)
  (let loop ((i start))
    (cond ((< i end)
	   (func i)
	   (loop (+ i step))))))

(for-loop 2 9 2
  (lambda (i)
    (display i)
    (newline)))

... or in a macro, which allows for making the (lambda) implicit:

(define-syntax for-loop
  (syntax-rules ()
    ((for-loop index start end step body ...)
     (let ((evaluated-end end) (evaluated-step step))
       (let loop ((i start))
         (if (< i evaluated-end)
           ((lambda (index) body ... (loop (+ i evaluated-step))) i)))))))

(for-loop i 2 9 2
  (display i)
  (newline))

Implementing loops with a step other than one is precisely as easy (or as fiddly) as implementing loops with a step equal to one. This example program uses a loop to perform integer division. It should be run with the dividend in storage location 21 and the divisor in storage location 22. To show that it works, we shall ask the machine to count from 387 in steps of -5 and to halt with the accumulator showing the number of times it has done so before producing a negative result.
