Attempt to iterate over a number value

[goldenSlendermen1Alt (Void_ExecutiveAlt)]

I have this example code:

for i in 8 do
	print(i)
end

It returns the error “attempt to iterate over a number value”

[gooey333 (StandardSatire)]

for i = 1, 8 do print(i) end

To add, the way a numerical for loop works like this:

for index = startValue, endValue, incrementValue do 
	-- do stuff
end

-- Side note here: incrementValue is 1 on default, so unless you specify, it's going to increment 1

--@ examples:

for i = 1,10 do
	print(i) -- 1,2,3,4...
end
for i = 10,1,-1 do
	print(i) -- 10,9,8,7...
end
for i = 10,1 do
	print(i) -- doesn't work because it cannot start from 10 and increment positively to 1
end
