Looping Constructs

There's only one type of loop in V language, like Go which can be used in many ways.
for loop
for loops offer a quick and easy way to do something repeatedly. They're handy, if you want to run the same code over and over again, each time with a different value. You can think of a loop as a computerized version of the game where you tell someone to take X steps in one direction then Y steps in another; for example, the idea "Go five steps to the east" could be expressed this way as a loop:
for i := 0; i < 5; i++ {
    println('Walking one step')
}
V has the for looping construct and the loop can be written in different ways:
1.in operator for array/map
ages := [18, 25, 32, 43, 50]
​
for age in ages {
    println(age)
}
Note: The value is read-only.
1.for loop with a condition
This is a control flow statement that allows code to be executed repeatedly based on a given Boolean condition. There are no parentheses surrounding the condition, and the braces are always required.
mut factorial := 1
mut counter := 1
​
for {
    counter++
    if counter > 5 {
       println(factorial)
       break
    }
    factorial = factorial * counter
}
​
println(counter)
Output
120
6
A for loop with a break statement can always be made shorter by placing the inverse condition right after for, making it equivalent with the while statement in other languages.
mut factorial := 1
mut counter := 1
​
for counter <= 5 {
    factorial = factorial * counter
    counter++
}
println(factorial)
println(counter)
Output
120
6
1.Traditional C style
mut factorial := 1
mut counter := 1
​
for counter = 1; counter < 6; counter++ {
    factorial = factorial * counter
    if counter == 5 {
        print(factorial)
        continue
    }
    println(counter)
}
1.Infinite Loop
for loop can also be infinite
for {
    println('foo')
}
