Manual increments

Sometimes you need more control over how the loop variable changes:

for i := 1; i < 100; {
    fmt.Println(i)
    i *= 2
}

This prints powers of $2$ : $1$ , $2$ , $4$ , $8$ , $16$ , $32$ , $64$ . The post statement is empty, so you handle the increment yourself inside the loop body.
