Because originally they meant different things. The for loop was a c-style loop and the foreach loop was an iterator. Eventually it was realized that the iterator style was a better loop and typing foreach every time was annoying, so they made for able to do both types of loops. In order to keep as much code running as possible the foreach loop was kept. Just ignore foreach. -- Chas.
