If you're interested in the details of the translation scheme of a Scala for loop (for comprehension), here's a quick look at how a for loop is translated into, well, other code.

A simple Scala for loop

In a first example, we'll start with the following Scala class:

class Main {
  def foo { for(i <- 0 to 10) println(i) }
}

Next, I compile this class from the command line like this:

Here's a quick look at how to use the Scala Map class, with a colllection of Map class examples.

The immutable Map class is in scope by default, so you can create an immutable map without an import, like this:

val states = Map("AL" -> "Alabama", "AK" -> "Alaska")

To create a mutable Map, import it first:

Java String array FAQ: Can you share some Java array examples, specifically some String array examples, as well as the Java 5 for loop syntax?

Sure. In this tutorial, we'll show how to declare, populate, and iterate through a Java String array, including the Java 5 for loop syntax. Because creating a String array is just like creating and using any other Java object array, these examples can also work as more generic object array examples.

AppleScript for loop FAQ: How do I use an AppleScript for loop? (Also, how do you use an AppleScript while loop?)

This is actually a bit of a trick question, as there is no AppleScript for loop or while loop syntax. Instead you use the AppleScript repeat command, as shown in the following examples.

AppleScript for loop examples

Where you might expect an AppleScript for loop to iterate over a list, you use the AppleScript "repeat with" syntax:

PHP array FAQ: How do I iterate (loop) through a PHP array?

Answer: The easiest way to loop through a PHP array is to use the PHP foreach operator. If you have a simple one-dimensional array, like the $argv array which lets you access command line arguments, you can loop through it like this:
