The output of the For is Null (from documentation on For: "Unless an explicit Return is used, the value returned by For is Null."). When multiplied by x (i.e., 10) gives 10*Null. Put the semi-colon after the right bracket. x = 0; For[i = 1, i <= 10, i++, x = x + 1]; x 10 Bob Hanlon ---- Joe Hays <joehays at vt.edu> wrote: ============= Can anyone tell me why the output is not a simple "10" instead of "10 Null"?
