Iteration

for(endval, function)

Executes function for numbers from this up to endval, inclusive, stepping each time by 1.

endval - a Number.

function - a Function which is passed two arguments, the first which is an number from this to

endval, and the second which is a number from zero to the number of iterations minus one.

forBy(endval, step, function)

Executes function for numbers from this up to endval stepping each time by step.

endval - a Number.

step - a Number.

function - a Function which is passed two arguments, the first which is an number from this to

endval, and the second which is a number from zero to the number of iterations minus one.
