Reverse For Loop Syntax - ASP / Active Server Pages

Adrienne Boswell

Today, I am braindead... I can't seem to find this in Google, and I
don't remember where I used this code before (so I can't steal it from
myself). Anyway, all I want to do is:

for i = 0 to 20 step -1
response.write "<br>" & i
next

For some reason, that doesn't work. It shows nothing. I know I am
missing something very simple, but, as I said, today, I am braindead.

Uh, did you mean for i = 20 to 0 step -1?

If you're going -1 each step, and you start at 0, you're not going to get
too far.
