For

Although the Pascal for statement looks a bit different than the Java for statement, they are quite the same. The Pascal for statement can be in one of the two following forms:

  for  control  :=  initial  to  final  do 
 (body)

or:

  for  control  :=  initial  downto  final 
 do  (body)

The corresponding Java versions are:

  for( control  =  initial ;  control  < 
 final ;  control ++)  (body)

and:

  for( control  =  initial ;  control  > 
 final ;  control --)  (body)

The bytecode for the for statement is structured as follows:

This can also be compiled using the same techniques as for the while statement.
