For...Next (BASIC command) Purpose Executes a group of commands for each increment of a counter. Syntax For Counter = Start To End Subcommands Next For Counter = Start To End Commands Next Counter For Counter = Start To End Step Increment Subcommands Next For Counter = Start To End Subcommands Condition Exit For Subcommands Next Each time a For...Next loop is iterated, the counter is incremented. You specify start and end values to indicate the initial and final values of the loop counter. The default increment is 1; however, you can specify a different increment by adding the Step keyword. The increment can be any valid number. If the increment is negative, the counter will count backwards from start to end. This is the only case where start is greater than end. You can also stop loop processing prematurely if a condition is met by using Exit. Example Dim i As Integer For i = 1 to 10         If i > 5 Then                 Exit For        'This will break the loop prematurely.'         End If                 Print "Counting:", i         Next i Next i
