Display Number from For() Loop
Hi Peoples,
First of all, I am new to expressions. My goal is to display numbers between 0 and given input i.e. “a” on a new line(one below other). I did success to display initial number but my For() don’t iterate.
The code I tried is below for the source textvar text= ” “;
var i;
var a=5
for (i=0; i<=a; i++) {
text = “n=” + i + “\n”;
break;
} -

This probably isn’t exactly what you’re looking for, but it should get you closer:
var txt= "n=";
var i;
var a=5
for (i=0; i<=a; i++) {
txt += i + "\n";
}
txt

Thank You, Dan…! Some changes to expression, made it worked as I needed
But still, don’t understand why we use “txt+=”.
Below is the changed Expression
var txt= “”;
var i;
var a=5
for (i=0; i<=a; i++) {
txt += “n=” + i + “\n”;
}

“txt+=” is shorthand for “txt = txt +”
If you don’t add to the existing text, the text gets overwritten with the value during each loop iteration, i.e. you only get the last value from the loop in the end.Kalleheikki Kannisto
