General Properties
ForLoop enumerates each element of a list from a minimum value – starting point – to a maximum value – ending point – by a default step of 1, and stops once the maximum value is exceeded.
Forloop has two default inputs and one optional input :
|  |
- Forloop can only handle and return numbers :it cannot enumerate an existing list - see ListLoop).
- The value of "from" must always be inferior to the value of "to".
- The default value of "by" is 1. It can be replaced by another positive value . If this value is negative, forloop doesn't stop, because "to" would never be reached.
Example : a List with a 7 step
ForLoop stops the iteration when the value defined by "to" is exceeded. Here, the first value returned by finally is the first value which exceeds the maximum value.
