Next: HCos Up: COD Command Summary Previous: EXP
FORSet up a FOR...LOOP or a FOR...+LOOP structure using the top two numbers in the stack to denote the range. The index for the FOR loop is an INTEGER*2, hence the maximum value is 32767. This word can only be used in colon definitions.
Example: COD> : TMP 4 1 FOR I . LOOP ; COD> TMP 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0Warning to people who know Forth: The COD FOR statement is similar to the Forth DO statement; however, there is an important difference concerning the two numbers that precede the FOR. In COD, these represent the upper and lower index values respectfully; in Forth, the first number is one greater than the upper index value.
