"For ... Next" Statement Example Examples

This section provides a tutorial example on how to use 'For ... Next' statements to repeat a block of statements.

To help you understand how "For ... Next" statements work, I wrote the following the example, loop_for.html:

<html>
<body>
<!-- loop_for.html
 - Copyright (c) 1998 HerongYang.com. All Rights Reserved.
-->
<pre>
<script language="vbscript">
   document.writeln("")
   For i = 3 To 30 Step 2
      bIsPrime = True
      For j = 2 To i\2
         bIsPrime = i Mod j > 0
         If Not bIsPrime Then Exit For
      Next
      If bIsPrime Then 
         document.writeln("Found a prime number: " & i)  
      End If
   Next
</script>
</pre>
</body>
</html>

Here is the output:

Found a prime number: 3
Found a prime number: 5
Found a prime number: 7
Found a prime number: 11
Found a prime number: 13
Found a prime number: 17
Found a prime number: 19
Found a prime number: 23
Found a prime number: 29

The output looks good. Some notes about the sample script:
