Rustom, did you not notice that the OP seemed to understood the 'for' perfectly well, but asked what the meaning of the [ ] delimiters is? He explicitly says: "what [] means in this statement?" and it's the subject of the thread! Apart from your own bias against explicit for loops, what made you think that the OP understood the [] but was confused by the "for" when he explicitly said the opposite?
