## Loops

AEL has implementations of 'for' and 'while' loops.

-     context loops {
          1 => {
               for (x=0; ${x} < 3; x=${x} + 1) {
                    Verbose(x is ${x} !);
               }
          }
          2 => {
               y=10;
               while (${y} >= 0) {
                    Verbose(y is ${y} !);
                    y=${y}-1;
               }
          }
      }

NOTE: The conditional expression (the "${y} = 0" above) is wrapped in $[ ] so it can be evaluated. NOTE: The for loop test expression (the "$x 3" above) is wrapped in $[ ] so it can be evaluated.
