Iterations

Iterations in Visual Basic 2015 are performed via the For..Next and For Each loops. Let’s analyze them more in detail.

For..Next

A For..Next loop enables you to repeat the same action (or group of actions) a finite number of times. The following code shows an example in which the same action (writing to the Console window) is performed 10 times:

For i As Integer = 1 To 10    Console.WriteLine("This action has been repeated {0} times", i)Next

In such loops, you need to define a variable of a numeric type (i in the preceding example) that acts as a counter.
