In Pascal I can't change the 'a' and 'b' values to force the end of  
the loop. So what other GOOD option do I have but to use exit or goto?

Use a while or repeat loop. The whole point of a for-loop is exactly  
to have the compiler ensure (to the best of its abilities) that you do  
not accidentally modify the loop variables.
