Could you not say that a for loop is an algorithm for counting from one number to another number? Or perhaps an algorithm for repeating a particular piece of code a certain number of times? I think you can abstract a for loop into an algorithm. I dont think that there is much use to do so, but from the philosophers chair?

    Wax practical, poetic even, not philosophical, otherwise how do you know all those program you wrote really exist and aren't a dream? (don't try to answer, just forget philosophy, it's got no place among programming in the real world -- it's not practical).
