Ada For Loop

• Syntax:

      for var in [reverse] discrete_range loop
          ...
      end loop;
  
  

• Design choices:

• Type of the loop var is that of the discrete range; its scope is the loop body (it is implicitly declared)

• The loop var does not exist outside the loop

• The loop var cannot be changed in the loop, but the discrete range can; it does not affect loop control

• The discrete range is evaluated just once
