When we run this program then the control variable is assigned a value and a final value. It
will take all the numbers between the initial and final values. Then the statement is

value is taken and the action is performed. At last stage the answer is displayed on the
screen.

For...Next With Step

FOR...NEXT WITH STEP statement is used to increase or decrease the value of the control
variable by our own choice. STEP value is optional and can either be positive or negative.
Syntax
FOR <control variable>=<initial value> TO <final value> STEP <n>

PRINT A
