[Resolved] Decreasing for loop

[battlestar_caprica]

How would I go about changing a for loop so that it counts backwards and not upwards
eg: "for i in 1..10"
        to
"for i in 10..1"
That way I can start at the highest numbers and work my way down.
Thanks for any help.

Use the "downto" method instead of a "for" loop, like this:

10.downto(1) {|i|
 p i
}

The code above would display 10, 9, 8, ... 3, 2, 1.
