A very simple doubt

[rahul....@gmail.com]

I tried running some basic programs (to prepare to teach my little niece some algorithmic thinking, without the hazels of programming syntax).

On trying the FOR loop, I bumped into this: “for i in [1...6]” gave me 1, 2, 3 and so on but up to only 5.

I had to rewrite it as “for i in [1...6+1]” in order to get 1, 2, 3 and so on up to 5. 

Is this a bug, or is it something I know not about PencilCode? 

Regards..

Aaah.. Got it: The three-dots vs two-dots. I'm too much a beginner with Pencil-Code (though have otherwise experience in programming, including JavaScript), that's why. Sorry...

I would rather suggest to the developers to add a “For x in” block with two dots (ie., inclusive of the upper limit). At present only one with three dots is available – I’ll then have to switch to text mode and manually delete one dot. 

I’m suggest this (only because it)/(so as to) additionally include a “For” block that is compatible to the approach of the BASIC language (be it QBasic, VB6 or VBScript).
