Overview

A for statement specifies repeated execution of a block. For more details on blocks, see Go blocks.

The iteration is controlled by a condition, a "for" clause, or a "range" clause.

for Controlled by a Condition

for a < b {
    a *= 2
}

The condition is evaluated before each iteration. If the condition is absent, is equivalent with true.

for {
    // do this forever
}

for Controlled by a "for" Clause

for controlled by a "for" clause is equivalent with for controlled by a condition, but it has an extra init and post statement:

for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
    // do something
}

for Controlled by a "range" Clause
