Hello Alejandra,

> QUESTION: how to introduce many instructions in for?
Here is an example that shows the use of semicolons.

For[ i=1, i<20, i++,
Print[i];
 Print[i^2];
 d= FactorInteger[i];
 Print[Length[d]]
 ]


Generally, you will get more flexible and faster code if you use Map,
Table, and Through type constructs rather than For.
