I am not a coder. How does that equal to 1? That for to me reads x in 3 to 5 in steps of 3 so that will only take 3 and that's it. That means it will be on the else branch of the if and since result is 0 initially then it becomes 3. For exits and that is that. What am I missing?

The for loop is stepping through an array: 3,3,5

So it’s really just 3+3-5=1

I’ve never used a for look that way though, but if the array object supports it in that language then it should work.
