The problem is, that anything made simpler by the addition of a for loop is made more complicated by adding your function. Using a function for it is pointless, unless the code is a full blown project of yours.

With all due respect I completely disagree. The same claim could be made about any function posted in these forums.

The function posted is completely general and doesn't take any special skill or knowledge to use.

Unless you think you can get Lexikos to change the language I think using a function is the best solution.

most functions in these forums fulfill some not-so-easy task, to the point where not using the function would be silly. In those cases, when helping someone you must take the effort to tell them how and where to get the library. Yours however, does not save enough time to justify that.

OK...?

Unless Lexikos decides that in this particular case, consistency with other languages is better, using a While loop with an init variable before it and increments within the while statement such as is the best solution

I benchmarked a number of different methods, iterating from 10 to 100 with a step of 10. The results were:

• Loop, A_Index*10: 1.00
• Init, while, increment: 1.20
• Loop..until: 1.35
• range: 4.85
• nrange: 8.30
• InRange: 13.00

(Values are relative, for comparison only.)

Using Loop and A_Index is typically the simplest and most efficient method. Anyone that understands basic programming and mathematics should be able to use it.
