Aparajita: "Don’t be so quick to complain; you finally got ‘for each’ 10 years after the rest of the world (including Active4D).” Good point. So…you’re thinking that the feature set is complete?
"I don’t know of a single language (and I have used at least 6) where ‘for each’ is reversible.” This could be 4D’s chance to be a trendsetter! "Indexed loops haven’t gone away and have their uses.” No doubt. I have to use them often when working with collections. Frankly, it’s funny that we have such a handy looping construct yet I have write code to init and update my own index. How about using “++" to increment? -- Douglas von Roeder 949-910-4084 On Fri, May 1, 2020 at 1:32 PM Aparajita Fishman via 4D_Tech < [email protected]> wrote: > > >> Another WTF is that you can’t iterate from the end of a collection to > the > >> start.
