And, even if they're not called "for" or "while" (they might be "do", "foreach", "repeat...until", etc), the basic idea of a looping construct which defines how many times an enclosed group of statements will be executed is absolutely universal. I can't think of a language from assembler to HyperCard that doesn't have a version of the "for" loop. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
