Next: HCos
Up: COD Command Summary
Previous: EXP
Set 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
4.0
Warning 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.
