Objeck's for loop

[ghost]

I always wondered why there need to be a semicolon before )

location := "East Bay";
for(i := 0; i < location->Size(); i += 1;) {
 location->Get(i)->PrintLine();
}; 

On other C based languages, it will be:

for(i := 0; i < location->Size(); i += 1)

Objeck's for loop is weird.

Btw, on Operators table, I found it support ++. But I have never seen a for loop that uses i++ or ++i.

Here's the rational, a for loop update statement is itself a statement; statements end in semi-colons.

That said, the code is stubbed out to make it optional however I have not implemented this option.

Now optional without the use of the alternative syntax. 8d8c82b

Please update the language server, it still gives errors if don't have the semicolon at the end of block statements @objeck

[objeck]

Are you using v2023.2.2 of the tool chain and language servers?

Sorry, I forgot to update to latest version 😄

No problem, I just remembered that I need to add that feature to the release notes. It is in the upcoming release notes.
