Dude, there are at least 4 different "for" loop syntaxes in Js/Ts alone:

for (let num = 1; num <= 5; num++) {}.

for (const num of numbers) {}.

for (const num in numbers) {}.

this.numbers].forEach(num => {});

Also don't forget ngFor and @for in html, and then the @for in sass/scss.

That's 7 different for loops and I haven't included the non-for loops, or even left Angular.

Once we include some scripting like I did just this week:

bash: for i in {1..5}: do .. done

dos: for /L %%i in (1,1,5) do ()

Then you can just stfu if I feel the need to remind myself of the exact syntax for one of the 3 or 4 different for loop options in c#.
