[swift-evolution] C-style For Loops

[Ray Fix]

Hi Erica,

One argument that I don’t see being made in your proposal is that the while statement provides an equivalent, more verbose form of C-style for loops.  

var i = 0
while (i < 10) {
  print(i)
  i += 1
}

I understand that one of the major goals of Swift is to be a language great to learn about computing.  Removing C-style loops doesn’t really diminished from this goal because the same thing can be taught with while.

Good luck,

Ray Fix
