4.3.9 FOR loop
Use the FOR loop to program repetitive procedures.
Syntax:
INT_Var :INT;
FOR := TO {BY } DO
END_FOR ;
•
The part in curly brackets {} is optional.
•
The are executed as long as the counter is not greater than
the.
•
A check is performed before the are executed so that the
will never be executed if is greater than .
•
Whenever the section has been executed, will be increased
by .
•
The step size can have any integer value. If no other step size is specified, step size 1 will be
used. The loop must terminate because will only become greater.
•
If is greater than and is negative, the FOR
loop is counted in opposite direction.
•
If is less than and is negative, the FOR loop
will not be executed.
Example:
FOR Counter:=1 TO 5 BY 1 DO
Var1:=Var1*2;
END_FOR ;
Res:=Var1;
Assuming that the variable Var1 has been pre-assigned value 1, it will be 32 after the FOR loop.
Caution!
must not be the limit value of the counter .
If, for instance, the variable Counter is of type SINT, must not be 127 since
otherwise the loop would be endless.
After completion of the FOR loop, Counter has a value 6.
