There you need the word "each" to convey that it's a loop. I'd certainly agree that "for each" is much better than "for" alone.

There you need the word "every" to convey that it's a loop. I'd certainly agree that "for each" is much better than "for" alone.

It's only natural if you already know that a for-statement is a loop. "while" is no better without the "do".
