5.5.3.2 The MAXL for Statement
The for statement can be divided into three separate parts, as shown in
Table 5-6 Table for Loop Elements
Syntax
Name When Executed Contents
Identifier-variable
= expression Before any other element
of the for statement or the
substatement. Used to initialize loop
indices.
step-
expression Before execution of a
given iteration of the
loop, excluding the first
iteration. Calculates iteration
step. If this field is
absent iteration step is
1.
terminate-
expression At the end of each
iteration of the loop. Used as loop-
termination criteria.
The for-statement executes the statements repeatedly until the identifier-value is less or
equal to terminate-expression value. The step-expression field is optional. If the step-
expression has a negative value then the for-statement executes the statements
repeatedly until the identifier-value is greater than or equal to the terminate-expression
value.
Syntax
for identifier-variable=expression : [step- expression :] terminate-expression
statements
end for
Example:
for i=1:1:10
test(i)
end for
