Iteration Statement
| Scheme: | (dotimes ( i n ) code ) |
| Pascal: | for i := 0 to n - 1 do code |
| C++, Java: | for ( i = 0; i < n ; i ++) code |
In the dotimes form, the index always starts at 0 and ranges through end - 1. In Pascal, the starting index can be specified, and it ranges through end. The for statement in C++ and Java specifies an initialization, test, and increment, similar to the do of Lisp.
If multiple statements are to be executed within the loop, a begin ... end or { ... } must be used.
{ int i; float max, sum; float values[10];
max = values[0];
sum = 0.0;
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
if (values[i] > max)
max = values[i];
sum = sum + values[i];
}
}
