* [[NEXT]] is required in a FOR loop or a [[ERROR Codes|"FOR without NEXT" error]] will occur.
* The FOR variable name is not required after [[NEXT]].
* [[NEXT]] can be grouped with other NEXTs in nested FOR loops using colons like [[NEXT]]: [[NEXT]]
* [[NEXT]] can also end more than one nested [[FOR...NEXT|FOR]] loop using comma separated variables like [[NEXT]] j, i
* [[NEXT]] increases the FOR loop count, so after the loop is over the counterVariable's value will be stopValue + 1 (or stopValue + increment).
* [[NEXT]] is also used with the [[RESUME]] statement.

''Example:'' Finding the FOR variable value AFTER a simple counter loop to 10.
{{CodeStart}}
FOR i = 1 TO 10
PRINT i;
NEXT i
PRINT "AFTER the LOOP, NEXT makes the value of i ="; i
{{CodeEnd}}
{{OutputStart}}
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 AFTER the LOOP, NEXT makes the value of i = 11
{{OutputEnd}}
''Result:'' The last value of i = 11 although FOR only looped 10 times. '''Only use the count values while inside of the loop or compensate for this behavior in your code.'''
