Ada
The FOR loop construct in Ada does not give the programmer the ability to directly modify the loop control variable during the execution of the loop. Instead, a valid range must always be provided before entering a loop. Because exact adherence to the task is impossible, we have three versions to approximate a solution. Looper_1 goes through a range of values which are even. Looper_2 multiples each value by two. Looper_3 most closely adheres to the requirements of this task, and achieves this by using a second range for the indices.
<lang ada>with Loopers; use Loopers;
procedure For_Main is
begin
Looper_1; Looper_2; Looper_3;
end For_Main;
package Loopers is
procedure Looper_1; procedure Looper_2; procedure Looper_3;
end Loopers;

procedure Looper_2 is E : Integer := 5; begin for I in 1..E loop Put(I*2,0); if I = E then Put_Line("."); else Put(","); end if; end loop; end Looper_2;

ALGOL 60

ALGOL 68
The ALGOL 68 "universal" for/while loop:
[ for index ] [ from first ] [ by increment ] [ to last ] [ while condition ] do statements od The minimum form of a "loop clause" is thus: do statements od # an infinite loop #
The formal specification of ALGOL 68 states:
for i from u1 by u2 to u3 while condition do action od
"is thus equivalent to the following void-closed-clause:"
begin int f:= u1, int b = u2, t = u3; step2: if (b > 0 ∧ f ≤ t) ∨ (b < 0 ∧ f ≥ t) ∨ b = 0 then int i = f; if condition then action; f +:= b; go to step2 fi fi end
Note: Highlighting is as per the formal specification, c.f. Category:ALGOL 68#Example of different program representations.
There are several unusual aspects of the construct:
- only the 'do ~ od' portion was compulsory, in which case the loop will iterate indefinitely.
- thus the clause 'to 100 do ~ od', will iterate only 100 times.
- the while "syntactic element" allowed a programmer to break from a for loop early. eg
int sum sq:=0; for i while sum sq ≠ 70 × 70 do sum sq +:= i ↑ 2 od
Subsequent "extensions" to the standard Algol68 allowed the to syntactic element to be replaced with upto and downto to achieve a small optimisation. The same compilers also incorporated:
- until(C) - for late loop termination.
- foreach(S) - for working on arrays in parallel.

E
There is no step in the standard numeric range object (a..b and a..!b) in E, which is typically used for numeric iteration. An ordinary while loop can of course be used:
<lang e>var i := 2 while (i <= 8) {
print(`$i, `) i += 2
} println("who do we appreciate?")</lang>
A programmer frequently in need of iteration with an arbitrary step should define an appropriate range object:
<lang e>def stepRange(low, high, step) {
def range { to iterate(f) { var i := low while (i <= high) { f(null, i) i += step } } } return range
}
for i in stepRange(2, 9, 2) {
print(`$i, `)
} println("who do we appreciate?")</lang>
The least efficient, but perhaps convenient, solution is to iterate over successive integers and discard undesired ones:
<lang e>for i ? (i %% 2 <=> 0) in 2..8 {
print(`$i, `)
} println("who do we appreciate?")</lang>

Icon and Unicon accomplish loop stepping through the use of a generator, the ternary operator to-by, and the every clause which forces a generator to consume all of its results. Because to-by is an operator it has precedence (just higher than assignments) and associativity (left) and can be combined with other operators. <lang Icon>

every 1 to 10 # no to, step is by 1 by default every EXPR1 to EXPR2 by EXPR3 do EXPR4 # general case - EXPRn can be complete expressions including other generators such as to-by, every's do is optional steps := [2,3,5,7] # a list every i := 1 to 100 by !steps # . more complex, several passes with each step in the list steps, also we might want to know what value we are at every L[1 to 100 by 2] # as a list index every i := 1 to 100 by (k := !steps) # . need () otherwise := generates an error every 1 to 5 to 10 # simple case of combined to-by - 1,..,10, 2,..10, ..., 5,..,10 every 1 to 15 by 2 to 5 # combined to-by every (1 to 15 by 2) to 5 # . made explicit
every writes( (TO_BY_EXPR) | "\n", " " ) # if you want to see how any of these work
</lang> The ability to combine to-by arbitrarily is quite powerful. Yet it can lead to unexpected results. In cases of combined to-by operators the left associativity seems natural where the by is omitted. In cases where the by is used it might seem more natural to be right associative. If in doubt parenthesize.
HolyC
This prints all odd digits: <lang holyc>U8 i; for (i = 1; i < 10; i += 2)
Print("%d\n", i);</lang>
Io
<lang Io>for(i,2,8,2,
write(i,", ")
) write("who do we appreciate?")</lang>
J
<lang J> ' who do we appreciate?' ,~ ": 2 * >: i.4 2 4 6 8 who do we appreciate?</lang>
Or, using an actual for loop:
<lang J> 3 :0
r=.$0 for_n. 2 * >: i.4 do. r=.r,n end. ' who do we appreciate?' ,~ ":n
) 2 4 6 8 who do we appreciate?</lang>
That said, note also that J's steps verb lets us specify how many steps to take:
<lang J> i:8 _8 _7 _6 _5 _4 _3 _2 _1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
i:8j8
_8 _6 _4 _2 0 2 4 6 8</lang>
Or, if we prefer, we could borrow the definition of thru
from the Downward for task and then filter for the desired values:
<lang J> thru=: <./ + i.@(+*)@-~</lang>
Example use:
<lang J> (#~ 0 = 2&|) 1 thru 20 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20
(#~ 0 = 3&|) 1 thru 20
3 6 9 12 15 18
(#~ 1 = 3&|) 1 thru 20
1 4 7 10 13 16 19</lang>
And, of course, like filtering in any language, this approach supports non-constant step sizes:
<lang J> (#~ 1&p:) 1 thru 20 2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19</lang>
Java
<lang java>for(int i = 2; i <= 8;i += 2){
System.out.print(i + ", ");
} System.out.println("who do we appreciate?");</lang>
JavaScript
<lang javascript>var output = ,
i;
for (i = 2; i <= 8; i += 2) {
output += i + ', ';
} output += 'who do we appreciate?'; document.write(output);</lang>
In a functional idiom of JavaScript, however, we will only be able to compose this computation within the superordinate expressions of our program if it has the the form of an expression returning a value, rather than that of a statement which fires off side-effects but returns no value.
Following the example of languages like Haskell and J on this page, we can begin by generating the stepped series as an expression. In functional JavaScript we will typically replace a state-changing loop with a non-mutating map or fold, writing, for example, something like:
<lang JavaScript>// range(iMax) // range(iMin, iMax) // range(iMin, iMax, dI) function range() {
var lngArgs = arguments.length, lngMore = lngArgs - 1;
iMin = lngMore ? arguments[0] : 1; iMax = arguments[lngMore ? 1 : 0]; dI = lngMore > 1 ? arguments[2] : 1;
return lngArgs ? Array.apply(null, Array( Math.floor((iMax - iMin) / dI) + 1 )).map(function (_, i) { return iMin + (dI * i); }) : [];
}
console.log(
range(2, 8, 2).join(', ') + ', who do we appreciate ?'
);</lang>
Output:
2, 4, 6, 8, who do we appreciate ?
jq

M2000 Interpreter
A for loop
Str$(i) always return decimal separator as "." format$() use same as Locale number specify. So here we use "," from Locale 1036. Str$() place a space before number if it is positive. We can use str$(i, "") to trim lead space. Here we use a space in format$ before number (and for negative numbers)
For this task we use single float numbers, and we make the loop one time from lower to higher value, and one time form higher to lower value.

Scheme
The built-in for-like form in Scheme is the do form:
<lang scheme>(do ((i 2 (+ i 2))) ; list of variables, initials and steps -- you can iterate over several at once
((>= i 9)) ; exit condition (display i) ; body (newline))</lang>
Some people prefer to use the recursive-style and more flexible _named let_ form:
<lang scheme>(let loop ((i 2)) ; function name, parameters and starting values
(cond ((< i 9) (display i) (newline) (loop (+ i 2)))))) ; tail-recursive call, won't create a new stack frame</lang>
You can add to the language by wrapping the loop in a function:
<lang scheme>(define (for-loop start end step func)
(let loop ((i start)) (cond ((< i end)
(func i) (loop (+ i step))))))
(for-loop 2 9 2
(lambda (i) (display i) (newline)))</lang>
... or in a macro, which allows for making the (lambda)
implicit:
<lang scheme>(define-syntax for-loop
(syntax-rules () ((for-loop index start end step body ...) (let ((evaluated-end end) (evaluated-step step)) (let loop ((i start)) (if (< i evaluated-end) ((lambda (index) body ... (loop (+ i evaluated-step))) i)))))))

SSEM
Implementing loops with a step other than one is precisely as easy (or as fiddly) as implementing loops with a step equal to one. This example program uses a loop to perform integer division. It should be run with the dividend in storage location 21 and the divisor in storage location 22.

XPL0
The 'for' loop always steps by 1 (or -1 for 'downto'). However there is no restriction on how the control variable can be used or manipulated, thus a step by 2 can be implemented like this:
<lang XPL0>include c:\cxpl\codes; int I; [for I:= 2 to 8 do
[IntOut(0, I); Text(0, ", "); I:= I+1; ];
Text(0, "who do we appreciate?"); ]</lang>
- Output:
2, 4, 6, 8, who do we appreciate?

A few others: <lang zkl>fcn loop(i=0){println(i); if(i<10)return(self.fcn(i+2))} (0).pump(10,Console.println,fcn(n){if(n%2)return(Void.Skip); n})</lang>
