This is the regular for-loop:
for (var i = 0; i < n; i++) { ... }
It is used to iterate over arrays, but also to just repeat some process
it's an interesting thought, but if you dislike the syntax for the loop, you could always do a different type of loop:
var i = arr.length; while (i--) { // do stuff }
the reverse while loop is generally faster than a for loop as well.
