Put your cursor over variables to see their current value. Variables will only show their value AFTER the line
of code as run. If the line is yellow, it means it hasn’t run yet, but it will
run next.
HOVER OVER VARIABLES
Example: Check the value of y

Watch the output to check it is correct Use this technique for checking For-Next loops!

FOR-NEXT LOOPS An Introduction
![Page 18: Ma3696 lecture 4](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052310/55388f744a79596f718b4761/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Enter 1 to 5 into column 1 in Excel
EXAMPLE 1. FOR-NEXT LOOPS
Public Sub ForLoopExample1() Cells(1, 1).Value = 1 Cells(2, 1).Value = 2 Cells(3, 1).Value = 3 Cells(4, 1).Value = 4 Cells(5, 1).Value = 5
End Sub
Very repetitive and inefficient
![Page 19: Ma3696 lecture 4](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052310/55388f744a79596f718b4761/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Use For-Next Loops to improve this code Identify what values are changing Identify what values are staying the same
EXAMPLE 1. FOR-NEXT LOOPS
Public Sub ForLoopExample1() Cells(1, 1).Value = 1 Cells(2, 1).Value = 2 Cells(3, 1).Value = 3 Cells(4, 1).Value = 4 Cells(5, 1).Value = 5
End Sub
These values are changing
![Page 20: Ma3696 lecture 4](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052310/55388f744a79596f718b4761/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Let i be a counter We have 5 lines of code, so i will count from 1 to 5
Use the counter to change the row & output value
EXAMPLE 1. FOR-NEXT LOOPS
i = 1 i = 2 i = 3 i = 4 i = 5
![Page 21: Ma3696 lecture 4](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052310/55388f744a79596f718b4761/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Let i be a counter We have 5 lines of code, so i will count from 1 to 5
Use the counter to change the row & output value
EXAMPLE 1. FOR-NEXT LOOPS
i = 1 i = 2 i = 3 i = 4 i = 5
When i = 1 row is 1
value is 1
When i = 1 row is i
value is i
![Page 22: Ma3696 lecture 4](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052310/55388f744a79596f718b4761/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Let i be a counter We have 5 lines of code, so i will count from 1 to 5

Let i be a counter We have 5 lines of code, so i will count from 1 to 5
Use the counter to change the row & output value
EXAMPLE 1. FOR-NEXT LOOPS

When i = 3 row is 3
value is 3
When i = 3 row is i

Let i be a counter We have 5 lines of code, so i will count from 1 to 5
Use the counter to change the row & output value
EXAMPLE 1. FOR-NEXT LOOPS
i = 1 i = 2 i = 3 i = 4 i = 5
For every line of code the row is i
and the value is i

EXAMPLE 1. FOR-NEXT LOOPS
i = 1 i = 2 i = 3 i = 4 i = 5
![Page 26: Ma3696 lecture 4](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052310/55388f744a79596f718b4761/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

![Page 27: Ma3696 lecture 4](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052310/55388f744a79596f718b4761/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
i is an integer I need to declare This is a For-Next Loop i is the counter – it will increase by 1 each time The first value of i is 1 The last value of i is 5
EXAMPLE 1. FOR-NEXT LOOPS
i = 1 i = 2 i = 3 i = 4 i = 5
![Page 28: Ma3696 lecture 4](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052310/55388f744a79596f718b4761/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
i is an integer I need to declare This is a For-Next Loop i is the counter – it will increase by 1 each time The first value of i is 1 The last value of i is 5
EXAMPLE 1. FOR-NEXT LOOPS
i = 1 i = 2 i = 3 i = 4 i = 5
This code will run for each value of i

FOR-NEXT LOOPS
Begin with FOR
End with NEXT
![Page 30: Ma3696 lecture 4](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052310/55388f744a79596f718b4761/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
A counter is a letter or word declared as a disposable integer variable
FOR-NEXT LOOPS
Must specify a COUNTER
![Page 31: Ma3696 lecture 4](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052310/55388f744a79596f718b4761/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
FOR-NEXT LOOPS
Values the COUNTER will take
![Page 32: Ma3696 lecture 4](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052310/55388f744a79596f718b4761/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Increases by +1 by default END value must be > than START value
Can increment by -1 if necessary to count backwards
FOR-NEXT LOOPS
Must specify START value
Must specify END value
![Page 33: Ma3696 lecture 4](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052310/55388f744a79596f718b4761/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Increases by +1 by default Can increment by -1 if necessary to count backwards
FOR-NEXT LOOPS
The result is the same for both loops
![Page 34: Ma3696 lecture 4](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052310/55388f744a79596f718b4761/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Always START with 1 or 0! You will understand why when you start coding
FOR-NEXT LOOPS
![Page 35: Ma3696 lecture 4](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052310/55388f744a79596f718b4761/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
FOR-NEXT LOOPS
CODE to run goes inside the loop
![Page 36: Ma3696 lecture 4](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052310/55388f744a79596f718b4761/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Find the procedure for Exercise 4. Using 4 input boxes, obtain the following user info: Their name The name of the Uni they attend The course they are studying Their year at Uni (i.e. 1, 2, 3, …)
Display their info in 1 MsgBox using full sentences. e.g. “Your name is…”, “You attend…University”, etc…
Create a button in a worksheet to run this code.
EXERCISE 4. CONCATENATION
Tip: to display part of a message on a new line of a Msgbox, use & vbNewLine & where you want one line to
end and another to begin.

Enter stock names in row 1 across columns 1-4
EXAMPLE 4. LOOPS WITH CONCATENTATION
Public Sub ForLoopExample4() Cells(1, 1).Value = “Stock1” Cells(1, 2).Value = “Stock2” Cells(1, 3).Value = “Stock3” Cells(1, 4).Value = “Stock4” End Sub
These values are changing

Let i be a counter We have 4 lines of code, so i will count from 1 to 4
Use the counter to change the col & output value

Using Lecture 4 Student Example.xlsm
Write a For-Loop for this: Remember to declare your counter! Count from 1 to 3 OR 0 to 2 Write it out the long way first if you need to
EXERCISE 5. WRITE A FOR LOOP

When in doubt, write it out!! If you aren’t sure how to write a loop, write it out without
using loops so you can spot the pattern. Then use a loop to make it more efficient.
Step through your code to see what is happening during each loop. Check variable values Check output to cells/ranges
You cannot loop variable names E.g., “mean” & i You have to use arrays (in a couple of weeks) For now, those bits of code will have to be inefficient and long

You are ready to move on when… LO17: You can name the 4 main parts of a For-Next loop. LO18: Given the output you need, you can write a For-Next
loop to achieve that output. Similarly, given a For-Next loop you can work out what the output/result will be (we will practice this in the lab). This is for one loop, not a nested loop (yet). LO19: You can define the concept of concatenation and
give some examples of how it is used in programming. You can use concatenation to join together values from text, variables and/or numbers. You also know when you need to use “ ” and when you should not use “ ”. LO20: You can combine the use of concatenation with for-
next loops to make code more efficient.
