alright

i can explain this

myCounter in this context is a variable used to store an integer

in idiot terms, a number that goes up and down and is remembered by the computer for reference

im certain you know what print does though

the “for” and “do” is used to make the code run in a loop

first number is starting value, second is the amount the number (aka myCounter) that the loop will stop

[toxic bear]

You’re assigning the variable myCounter as 5, the end condition of the loop to be myCounter==1 and then for every iteration of the loop you decrement myCounter by 1

Increment just means to increase something by some value

Decrement is the opposite

holy shit i understand

this took me too long to understand
