You are wrong there.
Well, this is a matter of opinion of course, but note that your
opinion on this topic is again different from the usual one:
If I cared about 'usual opinion', I would be using C#.
Or Java ^^
The student will have to remember 4 different syntaxes.
For a:=b to c do
for a:=b downto c do
for a in b do
for a in b index c do
Concise ? I don't think so.
Compared to the 10 methods of iterating over container just in the
current
FPC+Lazarus code? Yes, I think this *is* concise and clear.
There is only 1 method:
for i:=0 to I.Count-1.
I think he also means things like (without critizing):
MyDataSet.First;
while not MyDataset.Eof do begin
// ...
MyDataSet.Next;
end;
// on a sidenote: what about a TDataSet enumerator? :)
for i := 0 to MyWinControl.ChildCount - 1 do
// ...
for i := 0 to MyWinControl.ControlCount - 1 do
// ...
There might be more, but I don't remember them currently... :(

Sven
