Programming Question

[viper1]

I noticed someting in a couple of routines, in basic, that there was: "FOR i = 0 TO 5" As in the Push Up Routine:
And was wondering what its used for??
'***************pushup ********************************

pushup:
SPEED 10

GOSUB standard_pose
RETURN
What is this and what is its purpose?

it's a cycle used to repeat part of code few times, here - repeat pushups for 6 times. See "Next i" after "straighten arms" code blog? that's the end of cycle, musthave if you use "for".

Oh ok Thanks.
So what if I wanted to run a routine where he bends his knees, and I want them to stay in that position while he does something else with his arms or claws while his knees are continued to stay in that position. Is that where the wait command would be used?
