[for():] Roll Option
Executes a statement for a number of iterations based on a start and end value.
Usage
[for(var, start, end): body][for(var, start, end, stepsize): body][for(var, start, end, stepsize, separator): body]Parameters
The var variable counts from start towards end during the loop, and the optional stepsize (default +1) is added to var at each iteration. Note that in the standard incrementing usage with a stepsize of 1, the body does not execute when var reaches end.
Note that stepsize must be integer and not 0. Floating values will be rounded down.
list_separator default value is ",". Some examples of other useful separators: nothing "", space " " and break "<br>".
Examples
[for(i,0,10): "i is now " + i]Counts up from 0 to 9.
[for(i,10,0,-2): "i is now " + i]Counts down even numbers from 10 to 0.

Version Changes
- 1.3b54 - Changed the comparison operator when comparing the
vartoendwhen determining whether to continue executing a new iteration. In version 1.3b53 and earlier, on each iteration it compared ifvarwas less than or equal toend. As of version 1.3b54, it is now comparing ifvaris less thanend.
