Proposal: new for loop syntax about ark HOT 11 CLOSED

Yeah I'm not even sure why we had a colon in the for loop syntax

from ark.

i think the colon makes it a bit more readable but if you guys are uncomfortable with it, then we could remove it.

from ark.

It just doesn't seem right, kind of useless.

for int x (0, 10) looks like the whole thing is a collection of keywords idk why. for int x:(0, 10) seems a bit more cleaner.

from ark.

I agree with @CaptainChloride. Having nothing in between looks odd. How about for int x in (0,10)?

from ark.

the colon would be a better fit and relatively faster to put in, don't you think?

from ark.

@andars I dunno, I think the "in" makes the statement too verbose. But I also agree that having nothing to space it out makes it look like a sentence.

from ark.

How about making for int x : (0,10) standard styling?

from ark.

Also, since we already know the type of the right side, perhaps we could allow for auto typing: for x : (0,10). (x is implicitly declared as a variable of type int in this case).

from ark.

That's a good idea yeah... @freefouran what do you think?

from ark.

Yeah sounds good.
