ForLoop : Enumeration Between Two Values
General Properties
** ForLoop ** enumerates each element of a list ** from ** ** a minimum** value - starting point - ** to ** a maximum ** value - ending point - ** by ** **a default step of 1, and stops once the maximum value is exceeded.
Forloop has two default inputs and one optional input :
- “from” and “to” : a starting and and ending vlaue
- “by” : the value of the enumeration step.

Constraints
- Forloop can only handle and return numbers :it cannot enumerate an existing list - see ListLoop).
- The value of “from” must always be inferior to the value of “to”.
- The default value of “by” is 1. It can be replaced by another positive value . If this value is negative, forloop doesn’t stop, because “to” would never be reached.
Example : a List with a 7 step
ForLoop stops the iteration when the value defined by “to” is exceeded. Here, the first value returned by finally is the first value which exceeds the maximum value.
