Ok, this phrase is just about a variable, 
but seems to be too long.

But where is that famous FOR?

Yes, English is good, but I really prefer
Russian for this subject:

  "ot 1 do 5"   ili   "ot x=2 do 100 po 2" - Russian
"from 1 to 5"   or  "from x=2 to 100 by 2" - English
                     "for x=2 to 100 by 2" - EU & Company

English is not so good for the loops 
programming, just on my taste, sorry. 
EU for-loop is clear for me now 

Thanks again!
