##### Description

> Executes a block of statements for as long as a specified condition is true.

##### Syntax

> for (initialization; test; increment)
> statement

> The for statement syntax has these parts:

> Part | Description
> initialization | An expression. This expression is executed only once, before the loop is executed.
> test | A Boolean expression. If test is true, statement is executed. If test if false, the loop is terminated.
> increment | An expression. The increment expression is executed at the end of every pass through the loop.
> statement | The statement to be executed if test is true. Can be a compound statement.

##### Remarks

> You usually use a for loop when the loop is to be executed a specific number of times. The following example demonstrates a for loop.

> >     /* i is set to 0 at start, and is incremented by 1 at the end
> >     of each iteration. Loop terminates when i is not less
> >     than 10 before a loop iteration. */
> >     var myarray = new Array();
> >     for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
> >     {
> >       myarray[i] = i;
> >     }
