[Swift-devel] how to increment int?

[Mike Kubal]

Thanks Ben,

I tried both approaches, but I get the following
errors:

Could not compile SwiftScript source: line 9:11:
unexpected token: {
with the line:  

iterate i {  

I get a similar error 

Could not compile SwiftScript source: line 12:23:
unexpected token: [

with the line 

foreach job_number in [1000000:10000098]

Thanks,

Mike
