For loop

sprinter
sprinter over 15 years ago

Hi,

 The 'for' loop increments in steps of 1. Is there a way to increment or decrement with a non-unity step?

If I've a list of values to evaluate an expression(s) then 'foreach' is used but I couldn't find something for a range of values & with an arbritrary step size. Any comments?

Thanks,

Adil.

    You could use the SKILL++ do() function, or simply use a while loop:

    i=0
    while(i<20
      println(i)
      i=i+2
    )

    Or look at solution 11025352 on support.cadence.com - this is one I wrote on "Understanding SKILL macros". There's a macro on implementing a C-like for loop.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
