[NEXT](NEXT) is used in a [FOR...NEXT](FOR...NEXT) counter loop to progress through the loop count.
|
|
|
|
## Syntax
|
|
|
|
> [FOR](FOR) counterVariable = startValue [TO](TO) stopValue [[STEP](STEP) increment]
|
|
> *{code}*
|
|
> ⋮
|
|
> [NEXT](NEXT) [counterVariable]
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
* [NEXT](NEXT) is required in a FOR loop or a [ERROR Codes](ERROR-Codes) will occur.
|
|
* The FOR variable name is not required after [NEXT](NEXT).
|
|
* [NEXT](NEXT) can be grouped with other NEXTs in nested FOR loops using colons like [NEXT](NEXT): [NEXT](NEXT)
|
|
* [NEXT](NEXT) can also end more than one nested [FOR...NEXT](FOR...NEXT) loop using comma separated variables like [NEXT](NEXT) j, i
|
|
* [NEXT](NEXT) increases the FOR loop count, so after the loop is over the counterVariable's value will be stopValue + 1 (or stopValue + increment).
|
|
* [NEXT](NEXT) is also used with the [RESUME](RESUME) statement.
|
|
|
|
## Example(s)
|
|
|
|
Finding the FOR variable value AFTER a simple counter loop to 10.
|
|
|
|
```vb
|
|
|
|
FOR i = 1 TO 10
|
|
PRINT i;
|
|
NEXT i
|
|
|
|
PRINT "AFTER the LOOP, NEXT makes the value of i ="; i
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
|
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 AFTER the LOOP, NEXT makes the value of i = 11
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
*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.**
