It's not simple - FOR i IN array is natural - Original ADA use a very
similar construct.

subtype(e.g. an integer or enumeration type, or a range of it)[1]. You can say:<br /><blockquote>for i in
my_array'rangeloop ...<br /></blockquote> but that iterates over the array's index, not over its values.And there is no
ambiguitywith other things you might loop over because there aren't any.<br /><br /> cheers<br /><br /> andrew<br /><br
