this is not a built-in counter, this is how you would write a simple counter in basic.

Frankly, I don't understand the difference. I mean FOR/NEXT, I don't mean the exact code I wrote above.

apart from that, it does not fulfil the marius' requirement of doing "more than just adding numbers."

I don't care, it's not what I was replying to. I was only replying to the part of the mail that I have quoted. You seem to be disregarding that.

iteration; but then, a counter that does not do anything but increment an accumulator would be of _very_ limited use

You don't need to assume that I mean only the above three lines of BASIC code, instead of FOR/NEXT.

(--> HQ9+)

I don't speak that language.
