The generic for loop

An example of a for loop using an iterator

local planets = {"Earth","Mars","Saturn","Venus"} for item in iterator(planets) do print (item) end

• The generic for loop allows (see code below):
  • The var-list to be a list of one or more variables names
    • Separated by commas
  • The exp-list to be a list of one or more expressions
    • Separated by commas (usually this has one element)

Syntax of the generic for loop

for <var-list> in <exp-list> &lt;body&gt; end
