cfloop: index loop 285
The loop index is 3.
The loop index is 4.
The loop index is 5.
In this example, the code loops four times, displaying the
index
value each time. The value of
j
is
decreased by one for each iteration. This does not affect the value of
to
, because it is a copy of
j
that is made before entering the loop.
<cfset j = 4>
<cfloop index = "LoopCount" from = "1" to = #j#>
<cfoutput>The loop index is #LoopCount#</cfoutput>.<br>
<cfset j = j - 1>
</cfloop>
The output of this loop is as follows:
The loop index is 1.
The loop index is 2.
The loop index is 3.
The loop index is 4.
As before, the value of
j
is decremented by one for each iteration, but this does not affect the
value of
to
, because its value is a copy of
j
that is made before the loop is entered.
In this example,
step
has the default value, 1. The code decrements the index:
<cfloop index = "LoopCount"
from = "5"
to = "1"
step = "-1">
The loop index is <cfoutput>#LoopCount#</cfoutput>.<br>
</cfloop>
The output of this loop is as follows:
The loop index is 5.
The loop index is 4.
The loop index is 3.
The loop index is 2.
The loop index is 1.
