Is repeat until Scratch's version of the For loop?

If it isn't then what is it?

repeat until <yes>

end

The repeat until loop is not while loop:

repeat until <not <>> // the same as a while loop

end

through tough thorough thought, though

That… wasn't the question?
I guess, if you use it like this:

set [result v] to (0)
set [i v] to (0)
repeat until <(i) > (9)>
change [result v] by (i)
end

Lets be honest, who does it like that though.

That was just an example. And a lot of people do it like that. If you don't use it like this, then it's not a for loop.

I think that’s the main difference. Nothing automatically increments the variable i as a counter So

change [i v] by (1)

needs to be in the repeat until loop.

And I’ll admit that I use it this way in my projects all the time because I don’t usually want to try and find the hidden “for each” block.

Are you asking who, when they are designing a programming language, would not include something like:

for(var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
}

Do you have an Animate a Name project that you'd like to have added to a studio? Please leave a comment

in this studio.

You quoted OP incorrectly (I fixed it here)
Yeah, I forgot the main point of an I loop; here's the fixed one:

set [result v] to (0)
set [i v] to (0)
repeat until <(i) > (9)>
change [i v] by (1)
change [result v] by (i)
end

The other repeat loop is more like a for loop..

repeat (10)

end

If you want to add a counter…

set [result v] to [0]
set [i v] to [0]
repeat (10)
change [i v] by (1)
change [result v] by (i)
end
