Lesson 6 / 20

Repeating (the for loop)

This lesson covers looping in Rust with a for statement.

You repeat with for variable in range { ... }. Using a range such as 1..=5 is the typical form.

The sample code writes for i in 1..=5 to print the numbers 1 through 5 in order. The ..= form means the last number is included.

A common early stumble is the difference between .. (last number excluded) and ..= (last number included). 1..5 means 1–4 and 1..=5 means 1–5, so check that you have the range you intended.

In professional work, for loops turn up constantly when processing every element of a vector (a growable array).
