# For Loop

The **For Loop** statement is used to repeatedly execute a statement a set number of times.

The counter should be a simple Integer variable which has been declared earlier in the script.

While it is common practice to declare this counter variable using the code **var i : integer** with the variable simply given the name of **i**, in reality any name can be assigned to this variable.

The statement or group of statements within a **Begin….End** block is executed the number of times specified by the **InitialValue** and **LastValue**.

**For Loop** has the structure for \<counter> := \<InitialValue> to \<LastValue> do \<Statement>

## Execute A Single Statement Multiple Times

```pascal
procedure ScriptEvent (var Value : variant);
begin
  for i := 1 to 10 do LogInfo('This is the '+IntToStr(i)+' execution of this statement');
end;
```

This example executes a single **LogInfo** statement 10 times.

## Execute Multiple Statements Multiple Times

```pascal
procedure ScriptEvent (var Value : variant);
begin
  for i := 1 to 10 do
  begin
    LogInfo('This is the '+IntToStr(i)+' execution of this statement');
    LogInfo('This is the next statement to run each time');
  end;
end;
```

This example executes two **LogInfo** statements 10 times each.
