Yes, this is right: there is no real need for the for loop in this case. I thought that it was still better to show the process in an explicit loop since the OP is really a beginner. TIMTOWTDI, there are in fact many ways to do it.
Sorry for "spoiling" your answer, I did not think about that, but just thought that the OP deserved a simple example solution.
