For Statement

The lagi statement is used to loop through a range of values, specifying initialization, condition, and update.

Syntax

lagi(initialization; condition; update;)

Basic For Loop

A simple for loop that iterates from 0 to 4:

purna i;

lagi(i = 0; i < 5; i = i + 1;) {
  bhana(i);
}
:) Output: 0 1 2 3 4

For Loop for Calculations

A for loop that calculates the sum of numbers from 1 to 10:

purna i;
purna sum;

sum = 0;
lagi(i = 1; i <= 10; i = i + 1;) {
  sum = sum + i;
}
bhana("Sum of numbers from 1 to 10: ");
bhana(sum);
:) Output: Sum of numbers from 1 to 10: 55

Nested For Loops

You can nest for loops to work with multi-dimensional data:

purna i;
purna j;

lagi(i = 1; i <= 3; i = i + 1;) {
  lagi(j = 1; j <= 3; j = j + 1;) {
    bhana("i = ");
    bhana(i);
    bhana(", j = ");
    bhana(j);
    bhana("\n");
  }
}

Important Notes

  • The variable used in the for loop must be declared before the loop.
  • The initialization, condition, and update parts are separated by semicolons.
  • The update part must end with a semicolon.
  • The for loop is equivalent to a while loop with initialization before the loop and update at the end of each iteration.
