+The loop section makes it possible to iterate over an instance of `Iterable`, `Map` 's entry set, `Stream` and an Integer.
 It has two flavors.
 The first one is using the `each` name alias.

 <1> `count` represents one-based index. Metadata also include zero-based `index`, `hasNext`, `odd`, `even`.
 
+The `for` statement also works with integers, starting from 1. In the example below, considering that `total = 3`:
