We appreciate your patience as we improve our online experience.
It will be very convenient to have the ability to change the amount increment in a for loop. Currently, the i in for loop start at 0 and increment by 1 for each iteration. It will be great if we can change the start point of i and the amount increment, similiar to what we can do in c.
Check out Raven's link above, and check out my first comment on that link. This idea is a duplicate of a duplicate. But this functionality is so fundamental that I truly believe - in some type of an XKCD existential sort-of a way - that by Kudoing all three Ideas, it will more likely be implemented....
There would certainly have to be a redesign of the box to allow 2 integers to show
No, there would have to be three terminals, Begin, End and Increment. And why limit the parameters to integers? Check out asco's original Smart Iterators with Loops.
In C it is very powerfull because you can use any expression in stop condition and "increment" action, and it can include variables from all other program. I do not think that merging formula node, stop condition and iteration terminal into one item is a good idea.
If you need modified iteration terminal, expression node is very compact.
