00:00:00 --> 00:00:17
The basic principle of for loops is that it will repeat a block of codes the number of times you specify, using not only a condition but also the  initialization in the beginning and the increment at the end.

2
00:00:18 --> 00:00:37
So how much you want to increment your variable determines the number of times your variable loops by.

3
00:00:38 --> 00:00:42
So, it is a bit more complex to write.  However it looks good , it does the job and its very compact.

4
00:00:43 --> 00:00:52
Now we write 'for'

5
00:00:53 --> 00:01:02
so you have got three parts of your code here,and your block and that is all you need and your content can go here.

6
00:01:03 --> 00:01:12
So, I am going to say 'echo' here and let's create a variable 'num'.  So, we have echoed out 'num'.

7
00:01:13 --> 00:01:21
In here, we write num =1, not = = 1 because we are setting the variable num to the value of 1.

8
00:01:22 --> 00:01:30
Then we have a condition.  For eg, while num < = to 10

9
00:01:31 --> 00:01:36
Then, we have the increment values.  So, we are going to have num ++ and the loop is done.

10
00:01:37 --> 00:01:46
So, we type 'For', and our variable num=1

11
00:01:47 --> 00:01:51
Then we have our condition  'While num< =10, the loop will continue, and then we have num ++

12
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
As you can see this is much more useful than having num ++ down below .

13
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58
and  we  need not  declare this up here.

14
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
It can be declared inside these parentheses.

15
00:02:02 --> 00:02:06
O.K., I forgot the line-break.

16
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
I’ll  add a line break on to the end of this.

17
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
Refresh.

18
00:02:12 --> 00:02:16
There you go.

19
00:02:17 --> 00:02:24
You've got your loop ten times.

20
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
And as it has been specified in such a way it will loop only when num is less than or equal to 10.

21
00:02:28 --> 00:02:35
After that the loop will break and you may continue with the rest of the script.

22
00:02:36 --> 00:02:36
This is a bit more complex but once you learn the basics you will find it a lot easier .

23
00:02:37 --> 00:02:42
Thanks for watching.
