Looping over an integer range in Zig

Question

Is a while-loop like this the idiomatic way to loop over an integer range in Zig?

var i: i32 = 5;
while (i<10): (i+=1) {
    std.debug.print("{}\n", .{i});
}

I first tried the python-like

for (5..10) |i| {
    // ....

but that doesn't work.

Answer 1

The way you suggested is valid since 0.11.0 (next release). In the meantime I used to do a version of Ali's answer.

for ([_]u32{0} ** 6) |_, i| {
    std.debug.print("{}\n", .{i});
}

Answer 2

for some needing it now, it's working with the 0.12 unstable version:

    for (5..10) |i| {
        std.debug.print("{d}\n", .{i});
    }
