WriteLn('hoi!');

begin
  var i = 0;
  for var a := 0 to 2 do
    i := i + a * 2;
  WriteLn(a);
end;

Line 7 is giving an exception: Found unexpected token "Integer".
Any idea what's wrong with the syntax?

WriteLn('hoi!');

begin
  var i = 1;
  var a = 0;
  for a to 2 do
    i := i + a * 2;
  WriteLn(i);

    var lol = 1 = 2 - 1 ; 
  writeln(lol);
end;    

It's horrible anyway;

Thanks but that's not what i'm looking for.
I'm trying to figure out why variable declaration and initialization in the for loop statement (which is extremely convenient and imo more readable) is not valid. (nielsie gave it as an example but it don't compile)

I don't see a variable declaration in any of his loop statements (or anyone else's code), but maybe I missed it. I agree though, this is definitely a nice feature.
