statement/NEXT statement/NEXT NAME NEXT -- Completes a FOR loop ABBREVIATION n <shift> E SYNOPSIS NEXT [<variable>[,<...>,<variable>]] FUNCTION The NEXT statement is used with the FOR statement. When the computer encounters a NEXT statement, it goes back to the corresponding FOR statement and check the loop variable. If the loop is finished, execution proceeds with the statement after the NEXT statement. The word NEXT may be followed by a variable name, a list of variable names separated by commas, or no variable names. If there are no names listed, the last loop started is the one being completed. If the variables are given, they are completed in order from left to right. INPUTS <variable> - name of the FOR loop variable RESULT Causes computer to go back to the corresponding FOR statement and check the FOR loop variable. Depending on loop variable value NEXT either exits the loop or repeats it once more.
