Counter

DucklingScript

REPEAT n,3
    $PRINT "I like the number "+n+"!"

FOR n,3
    $PRINT "I don't like the number "+(n+3)+" >:("

Output

I like the number 1!
I like the number 2!
I don't like the number 3 >:(
I don't like the number 4 >:(
I don't like the number 5 >:(

warning

Please note that there is a limit to for loops; for loops will eventually error if they run too many times. This can be avoided however by using inner for loops, but that is not recommended.
