Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

EXIT is a quick way out of DO and FOR loops.
For i = 1 To SomeNumber
  Do Stuff
  If somthing is TRUE Then Exit For
  Do Other Stuff
Next i

"Next" with a variable is slower than without.

  PhenixRising said  It has been a while and I'm not at my desk to verify but I seem to remember finding for-next loops to be faster than do-loops


While you can change the value of a counter variable, it's not the most obvious way of exiting the loop. EXIT FOR, however, is explicit.

ANSI/ECMA Standard BASIC doesn't allow you to change a loop variable. Not that many people ever paid much attention to that standard.
