algorithms
I want to write a 'for' statement, but unsure how to do this with LaTeX. What I am trying to do is:
for k = 1, k++, while k < i
What is the proper (or at least a decent way) to write this in LaTeX?
Let me re-phrase:
I do not want to actually create a loop, I just want to print a line that will be the text of the beginning of a for-loop. I'm unsure how to do this.
Command names in LaTeX are case sensitive:
\FOR{$\mathit{bin}=0$ to $\mathit{binCount}$}
...
\ENDFOR
is what the documentation says (I added the \mathit around the multiletter variables, that renders better than writing $binCount$).
Use
\SetInd{<space before>}{<space after>}
to control the spacing before and after the vertical rule (which is disabled via that noline option). Here is a comparison of the default setting and one with \SetInd{0.25em}{0.1em}:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[noline,boxruled,commentsnumbered,linesnumbered,titlenumbered]{algorithm2e}
\IncMargin{0.5em}
\begin{document}
\noindent
Without setting \verb|\SetInd{}{}|:
\begin{algorithm}
\SetKwInOut{Input}{input}\SetKwInOut{Output}{output}
\SetKwFor{Foreach}{for each}{do}{endfor}
\SetKwIF{If}{ElseIf}{Else}{if}{then}{else if}{else}{endif}
\BlankLine
\Input{A method \emph{m}}
\Output{result}
\BlankLine
\Foreach { $x \in M_{x}$}{
do something
}
\caption{Algorithm}\label{Method}
\end{algorithm}
\noindent
With \verb|\SetInd{0.25em}{0.1em}|:
\SetInd{0.25em}{0.1em}
\begin{algorithm}
\SetKwInOut{Input}{input}\SetKwInOut{Output}{output}
\SetKwFor{Foreach}{for each}{do}{endfor}
\SetKwIF{If}{ElseIf}{Else}{if}{then}{else if}{else}{endif}
\BlankLine
\Input{A method \emph{m}}
\Output{result}
\BlankLine
\Foreach { $x \in M_{x}$}{
do something
}
\caption{Algorithm}\label{Method}
\end{algorithm}
\end{document}

If you just want to print the statement, then something like
will set it in a displayed format (remember to call
\usepackage{amsmath}in the preamble). If it's as an item in anenumerate, thenis sufficient.
The only subtle point is to enclose the
+symbols between braces, in order to avoid undesired spacings.
