If your object is an atom, you can assign it to an integer variable as long
as it will fit (make it an integer by using 'floor' and maybe check the
size). Typically, though you don't want to be messing with a for loop
variable. You should probably declare a different variable for what you
want to do (I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to do... maybe you
could post a little code?)
