I'd like to know how can I implement a for loop like this in R (I wrote the code for C):

int i;
for (i = 1; i<=10; i  ) {
    print the index i
    i = desiredNumber
}

It seems that this is not possible in R because, when I modify the index inside a for loop, nothing happens.

We can use a while loop

flag <- TRUE
 i <- 1
 while(flag) {
   print(i)
   i <- i   1
   if(i > 10) {
    flag <- FALSE
   }
 
 
 }
