A silly ask, I suppose, but why "for i = 1, 4, 1 do" and not simply "for i=1,4 do"??

That last "1" is just the step increment. In this case we could have left it out and the loop would default to incrementing by 1, so you're right about not really needing it here. I left it in the example so that I wasn't changing too much from the original code.

OK I see, thanks

Hi thxs. Yeah I was wondering about that extra "1" myself, although I don't understand what you mean by a step count

Looking at your Code, the value "i" starts off as 1 and then steps (increments) by 1 so it becomes 2, and then again it steps by 1 to become 3, and finally it steps by 1 a final time to become 4.
Example:
Code: Select all
for counter = 1,4,1 do
print(counter);
end
That will Print the following values: 1,2,3,4
Another way that we could write this and get the same result is:
Code: Select all
local counter = 1
while counter <= 4 do
print(counter)
counter = counter + 1;
end
This will also print the values: 1,2,3,4. The " + 1 " is the Step increment, and we can make that any number we choose.
So now try this:
Code: Select all
for counter = 1,4,2 do
print(counter);
end
That will Print the following values: 1,3
Next:
Code: Select all
for counter = 1,4,3 do
print(counter);
end
That will Print: 1,4
And lastly:
Code: Select all
for counter = 1,4,4 do
print(counter);
end
That will simply Print the value: 1
