I know, but not all languages have it ;) If you really think about it there isn't all that much different in all the cish languages ;P

What languages don't have it? Just about any language I've run across has some form of a FOR loop. Sure Basic/VB is not C/C++/C#/Java-like but still similar. Even PHP is C-like. PC

I'm referring to being able to specify the condition... yes, most languages have a for loop... but in vb for example, its strictly counting.
