For next loop

[Rickharris]

This is odd and I am sure didn't happen previously:

My 5.2 ver picaxe programmer allows you to set a for - next loop without the next state,ment.

I "think" previously this errored but now it doesn't??

Any one else reproduce this

start:
for b0=1 to 10
wait 1
goto start

Technical?

By perchance I spied the same thing last night while writing a line plotting routine for graphic display ex a mobile phone

the index/incrementing variable (in your example b0) just stays at the initial value.

The compiler errors on next without for, but not the other way around - this was deliberate in the past (ask Hippy why!).

However now the new compiler uses the 'for optimisation' by default we will think about adding the warning to the compiler.
