im in grade 10...and yeah i do know what a loop and an infinite loop is...but i can't figure out the problem...i can't seem to be able to get the numbers in 5s and add them together...their supposed to be like:
5
10
15
20
35
40
75

here's my code:

%loop entered
    loop
      for num:0..101
      put num+5
      put (num+5)+5
      put (num+5)+(num+5)+5
      delay(10000)
      end for
      end loop

now instead of going like this:

5
10
15
20
35

my output is:
5
10
15
6
11
17

can u tell me where ive gone wrong and what i could do?

-----------------------------------

you basically do what was said above.. a variable then add teh value of the for loop, check it out.

var total:int:=0 %declare a var of int, set it to 0
for i:0..101 by 5 %start a for loop, increment by 5 each time
  put i %display i
   total += i %add i to the total value
end for

OR


int count:=1
loop
    put count*5
    count+=1
end loop

15
25
