Absolutely. In fact it is more complete than most implementations, you can specify and begin and end index for ordered collections. > "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! I don’t think it's worth it. Iterating in reverse is not a common operation. > it’s funny that we have such a handy looping construct yet I have write > code to init and update my own index. If you need an index in a ‘for each’ loop, you should actually be using an indexed ‘for’ loop. That’s the point of having ‘for each’ separate from ‘for’: 90% of the time you don’t need the index and ‘for each’ is more concise, but when you need an index a for loop increments it for you. - Aparajita ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **********************************************************************
