Solved for loop in sh

[balanga]

Apparently this construct is only doable in bash, not sh

for ((i=0;i<5;i++))

What is bourne equivalent of this?

Apologies for this newbie type question, but my brain isn't working today

 

[Hiroo Ono]

for i in $(jot 5 0); do
  do something with ${i}
done

 

[rmomota]

for i in $(seq 0 4); do
    echo "$i"
done

 

[balanga]

for i in $(jot 5 0); do
  do something with ${i}
done

What is this jot ?

jot(1)

There's also a seq(1) command:

DESCRIPTION
     The seq utility prints a sequence of numbers, one per line (default),
     from first (default 1), to near last as possible, in increments of incr
     (default 1).  When first is larger than last, the default incr is -1.
