Sinclair BASIC on the QL used to have a FOR loop epilogue which could
be used to handle this sort of thing. A simple FOR loop was
FOR index = start TO stop
do some stuff
END FOR index
The NEXT control could be added to create the epilogue so:
FOR byte = 0 TO 254
PRINT index
NEXT index
PRINT index
END FOR index
Would print out the values from 0 to 255. If the loop's initial
conditions would not permit execution, control jumps to after the END
FOR marker.
It also allowed :
FOR index = 0 TO 15, 64, 96, 128 to 254, 255
Very useful, and just one of the many features I miss from SuperBASIC.
