Hello,
You separate the "instructions" by semicolons, e.g.
For[ i=1, i<n, i++, x=i^2; Print[x] ].
However, the use of For in Mathematica must be discouraged, unless no
other solution is at hand (it ought to be seen as the last resort,
since it makes Mathematica programs very slow). In the above example,
a better solution is to use Table:
Table[ i^2, {i,n} ].
