Having an initializer terminal for the starting index(i) of the For loop.

[Pavan_Melukote]

I started working on LabVIEW after I joined NI 4 months back and I think we can give the option of initialising the starting index- 'i' of the for loop, just like we do in other text based programming languages. e.g In case of implementing a selection sort algorithm, the second for loop is initialised with the starting index of the first for loop, in LV I cannot do that! It'll be nice to provide this option, which can be made optional.

This has been suggested several times. I believe this is the earliest:

Hi Pavan,

in particular you as an NI employee should use the search function in the LV IE.

This also applies for your other suggestion:
