![Task](http://static.miraheze.org/rosettacodewiki/thumb/b/ba/Rcode-button-task-crushed.png/64px-Rcode-button-task-crushed.png)
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
“For” loops are used to make some block of code be iterated a number of times, setting a variable or parameter to a monotonically increasing integer value for each execution of the block of code.
Common extensions of this allow other counting patterns or iterating over abstract structures other than the integers.
- Task
Show how two loops may be nested within each other, with the number of iterations performed by the inner for loop being controlled by the outer for loop.
Specifically print out the following pattern by using one for loop nested in another:

360 Assembly
- Basic - Algol style
The opcode BXH uses 3 registers, one for index, one for step and one for limit. <lang 360asm>

This illustrates two kinds of 'for' loop. The first kind is "loop", which iterates from the low to the high value, and passes the current loop index as a parameter to the inner word. The second is 'times', which takes a count and repeats the word that many times.

Since the inner loop index is unneeded, it may be more natural to use the From_to_do_
loop format:

[
From 1 to row do [Print: "*";]; Print: "\n";

Axe
In this example, the Axe code is nearly identical to the TI-83 BASIC version. However, note the swapped order of the I and J in the Output() statement. Also, unlike TI-83 BASIC, Axe does not support an increment value other than 1. <lang axe>ClrHome For(I,1,5) For(J,1,I) Output(J,I,"*") End End</lang>

The key operator here is 'iter' which gives the current iteration of the loop body it resides in. When used with the 'times' operator, it generates a countdown.

This loop is a combination of for ... in ...
which iterates over something and a..b
which is a range object that is iteratable. (Also, writing a..!b
excludes the value b.)

EDSAC order code
As with many other machine-level languages, there is no inbuilt looping construct; but the equivalent of a FOR or DO loop can easily be synthesized using conditional branching orders and a control variable.
The EDSAC character set does not include a * character, so + has been used instead.
Characters are encoded in five-bit form, with each code point producing a different character depending on whether the machine is in 'letter' or 'figure' mode: this is why it is necessary to output a 'figure shift' control character at the beginning of the job. <lang edsac>[ Loops

puts()
is a function that takes two arguments; an integer
and a sequence
. Strings are simply sequence
s; there is no string type.
The integer
specifies where to put the "string". 0 = STDIN, 1 = STDOUT, 2 = STDERR, 3+ = files that are opened with the open()
function.
puts()
prints the sequence
out, as a "string". Each element in the sequence
provided is printed out as the character with that value in the ASCII character chart.

Fortran
<lang fortran>C WARNING: This program is not valid ANSI FORTRAN 77 code. It uses C one nonstandard character on the line labelled 5001. Many F77 C compilers should be okay with it, but it is *not* standard.
PROGRAM FORLOOP INTEGER I, J
DO 20 I = 1, 5 DO 10 J = 1, I
C Print the asterisk.
WRITE (*,5001) '*' 10 CONTINUE
C Print a newline.
WRITE (*,5000) 20 CONTINUE
STOP
5000 FORMAT (A)
C Standard FORTRAN 77 is completely incapable of completing a C WRITE statement without printing a newline. If you wanted to C write this program in valid F77, you would have to come up with C a creative way of printing varying numbers of asterisks in a C single write statement. C C The dollar sign at the end of the format is a nonstandard C character. It tells the compiler not to print a newline. If you C are actually using FORTRAN 77, you should figure out what your C particular compiler accepts. If you are actually using Fortran C 90 or later, you should replace this line with the commented C line that follows it.
5001 FORMAT (A, $)
C5001 FORMAT (A, ADVANCE='NO')
END</lang>
<lang fortran>DO i = 1, 5
DO j = 1, i WRITE(*, "(A)", ADVANCE="NO") "*" END DO WRITE(*,*)
END DO</lang>
Fortran 95 (and later) has also a loop structure that can be used only when the result is independent from real order of execution of the loop.
<lang fortran>integer :: i integer, dimension(10) :: v
forall (i=1:size(v)) v(i) = i</lang>
But if one accepts that a do-loop can be expressed without the actual word "do" (or "for"), then <lang Fortran>
DO 1 I = 1,5 1 WRITE (6,*) ("*", J = 1,I) END
</lang> That is a complete programme, though a more polite source file would have INTEGER I,J. It uses the old-style DO label etc. style of DO-loop to save on having to specify an END DO. The WRITE statement's output list is generated by an "implied" DO-loop having much of the form of DO J = 1,I and is indeed a proper loop. The output item is a text literal, which in earlier Fortran was unknown, however the result can still be achieved: <lang Fortran>
DO 1 I = 1,5 1 WRITE (6,2) (666, J = 1,I) 2 FORMAT(5I1) END
</lang> This works because if a value cannot be fitted into its output field, the field is filled with asterisks. Which, is what is wanted! Just allow one digit for output (I1), and present a large integer.

J
J is array-oriented, so there is very little need for loops. For example, except for the requirement for loops, one could satisfy this task this way:
]\ '*****'
J does support loops for those times they can't be avoided (just like many languages support gotos for those time they can't be avoided). <lang j>3 : 0
for_i. 1 + i. y do. z =.
for. 1 + i. i do. z=. z,'*' end.
z 1!:2 ] 2 end.
i.0 0 )</lang>
But you would almost never see J code like this.
Java
<lang java>for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j <= i; j++) { System.out.print("*"); } System.out.println();
}</lang>
JavaScript
<lang javascript>var i, j; for (i = 1; i <= 5; i += 1) {
s = ; for (j = 0; j < i; j += 1) s += '*'; document.write(s + '
');
}</lang>
Alternatively, using JavaScript's Array.forEach(), and given an array of indices,
or a simple range function which generates a range:
<lang JavaScript>function range(i) {
return i ? range(i - 1).concat(i) : [];
}
range(5) --> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]</lang>
We could write something like:
<lang JavaScript>var s = ;
range(5).forEach(
function (line) { range(line).forEach( function () { s += '*'; } ); s += '\n'; }
);
console.log(s);</lang>
but it might be more natural in JavaScript, if we are going to use built-in Array functions, to simplify a little with Array.reduce(), writing:
<lang JavaScript>console.log(
range(5).reduce( function (a, n) { return a + Array(n + 1).join('*') + '\n'; }, )
);</lang>
in which the inner n refers to the Array value visited at the next level out, and the triangle is returned as a single expression, rather than as a series of variable mutations.
Finally, in contexts where an expression composes better than a statement, the effect of a loop can often be expressed as a map.
<lang JavaScript>console.log(
range(5).map(function(a) { return Array(a + 1).join('*'); }).join('\n')
);</lang>

M2000 Interpreter
By default there For loops always perform on execution of block. If end value is smaller than fist value, then step adjust to that direction. When first value is equal to second value then if we declare step negative end value after execution of block became start value minus absolute step, or if step is positive, became start value plus step. We can use a switch for interpreter to change IF's STEP to act as BASIC's, and sign of step always used, and there is situations where block can't executed.

Plain English
Plain English doesn't allow the direct nesting of loops. Instead, you are encouraged to make one routine for each loop and let the routine headers describe what the loops are doing. <lang plainenglish>To run: Start up. Write a triangle of asterisks on the console given 5. Wait for the escape key. Shut down.
To write a row of asterisks on the console given a number: If a counter is past the number, write "" on the console; exit. Write "*" on the console without advancing. Repeat.
To write a triangle of asterisks on the console given a size: If a counter is past the size, exit. Write a row of asterisks on the console given the counter. Repeat.</lang>

PowerShell
<lang powershell>for ($i = 1; $i -le 5; $i++) {
for ($j = 1; $j -le $i; $j++) { Write-Host -NoNewline * } Write-Host

Alternatively the same can be achieved with a slightly different way by using the range operator along with the ForEach-Object
cmdlet:
<lang powershell>1..5 | ForEach-Object {
1..$_ | ForEach-Object { Write-Host -NoNewline * } Write-Host
}</lang>
while the inner loop wouldn't strictly be necessary and can be replaced with simply "*" * $_

Prolog
Prolog has a built in iterator, between(Lo,Hi,I) which binds the value of I to successive values from Lo to Hi. This is the closest thing Prolog has to a 'for' loop. <lang prolog>example :-
between(1,5,I), nl, between(1,I,_J), write('*'), fail.

Python
<lang python>import sys for i in xrange(5):
for j in xrange(i+1): sys.stdout.write("*") print</lang>
Note that we have a constraint to use two for loops, which leads to non-idiomatic Python. If that constraint is dropped we can use the following, more idiomatic Python solution: <lang python>for i in range(1,6):
print '*' * i</lang>
or <lang python>print('\n'.join('*' * i for i in range(1, 6)))</lang>

Ring

for x = 1 to i see "*" next see nl
next </lang>
Ruby
One can write a for loop as for i in 1..5; ...end or as for i in 1..5 do ... end or as (1..5).each do |i| ... end. All three forms call Range#each to iterate 1..5.
for | Range#each |
---|---|
<lang ruby>for i in 1..5 for j in 1..i print "*" end puts end</lang> |
<lang ruby>(1..5).each do |i| (1..i).each do |j| print "*" end puts end</lang> |
Ruby has other ways to code these loops; Integer#upto is most convenient.
Integer#upto | Integer#times | Kernel#loop |
---|---|---|
<lang ruby>1.upto(5) do |i| 1.upto(i) do |j| print "*" end puts end</lang> |
<lang ruby>5.times do |i| # i goes from 0 to 4 (i+1).times do print "*" end puts end</lang> |
<lang ruby>i = 1 loop do j = 1 loop do print "*" break if (j += 1) > i end puts break if (i += 1) > 5 end</lang> |
Or we can use String#* as the inner loop, and Enumerable#map as the outer loop. This shrinks the program to one line.
<lang ruby>puts (1..5).map { |i| "*" * i }</lang>
Rust
The compiler warns when you create an unused variable; here we use _ to avoid this effect. <lang rust>fn main() {
for i in 0..5 { for _ in 0..=i { print!("*"); }
println!(); }
}</lang>

Sather
Sather allows the definition of new iterators. Here's we define for!
so that it resembles the known for
in other languages, even though the upto!
built-in can be used.

]</lang> (only for demonstration of nested for-loops; as the column is not needed, the first solution is probably clearer).
However, streams already have some builtin repetition mechanism, so a programmer might write:
<lang smalltalk>1 to: 5 do: [ :n |
Stdout next: n put: $*; cr

The "real SNOBOL4" starts here: <lang snobol>outer b = a = ?lt(a,5) a + 1 :f(end) inner t = t ?(b = (gt(b,0) b - 1)) "*" :s(inner) t span("*") . terminal = :(outer) end</lang>
one "loop" only: <lang snobol> a = "*****"; a a len(x = x + 1) . output :s(a) end</lang>

}</lang> Note that it would be more normal to produce this output with: <lang tcl>for {set i 1} {$i <= 5} {incr i} {
puts [string repeat "*" $i]
}</lang>
It bears noting that the three parts of the for loop do not have to consist of "initialize variable", "test value of variable" and "increment variable". This is a common way to think of it as it resembles the "for" loop in other languages, but many other things make sense. For example this for-loop will read a file line-by-line:
<lang tcl>set line "" for { set io [open test.txt r] } { ![eof $io] } { gets $io line } {
if { $line != "" } { ...do something here... }
}</lang>
(This is a somewhat awkward example; just to show what is possible)

UNIX Shell
A conditional loop, using a while control construct, can have the same effect as a for loop. (The original Bourne Shell has no echo -n "*"
, so this uses printf "*"
.)
<lang bash>#!/bin/sh
- Using a while control construct to emulate a for loop
l="1" # Set the counters to one while [ "$l" -le 5 ] # Loop while the counter is less than five
do m="1" while [ "$m" -le "$l" ] # Loop while the counter is less than five do printf "*" m=`expr "$m" + 1` # Increment the inner counter done echo l=`expr "$l" + 1` # Increment the outer counter
done</lang>
The Bourne Shell has a for loop, but it requires a list of words to iterate. The jot(1) command from BSD can output an appropriate list of numbers.
<lang bash>for i in `jot 5`; do for j in `jot $i`; do printf \* done echo done</lang>
Bash has for loops that act like C. These loops are very good for this task.
<lang bash>for (( x=1; $x<=5; x=$x+1 )); do
for (( y=1; y<=$x; y=$y+1 )); do echo -n '*' done echo ""
done</lang>
C Shell
<lang csh>foreach i (`jot 5`) foreach j (`jot $i`) echo -n \* end echo "" end</lang>
