Write a FOR LOOP in Perl

When you create a FOR LOOP you can name the variable anything you like.

In this example, I am naming the variable $ji

for ($ji = 0; $ji < 11; $ji++) {

print "$ji, ";

}

Which prints:
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,


In plain English, we are basically saying:

$ji = 0 -The variable $ji equals 0.
$ji < 11 -While $ji is less than 11.
$ji++ -Increment $ji by one each time through the loop (The value of $ji plus one).


Start Copy and Paste Perl Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";

for ($ji = 0; $ji < 11; $ji++) {

print "$ji, ";

}

exit;
