For
 For[start, test, incr, body] executes start, then repeatedly evaluates body and incr until test fails to give True.
The sequence of evaluation is test, body, incr. The For exits as soon as test fails.
Example: For[tot = 0; i = 0, i < 3, i++, tot += f[i]]. Note that the roles of semicolon and comma are reversed relative to the C programming language.

Entering Commands Directly
You can paste a template for this command via the Text Input button on the For Function Controller.
Here is a common form of a For loop. The semicolon separates the multiple commands of the start and the body. The loop terminates as soon as the test  < 10 fails.
