In every programming language, when you want to loop through a collection, you use the 'for' loop in maximum scenarios. When writing code in Visual Studio, you might be aware that, there exist a code snippet to write the for-loop structure.

But you might not noticed that, there exist another code snippet to generate a reverse for-loop. Let's see what it is and how it operates.

Code snippets are the templates that makes it easier to generate repeating code patterns, such as loops, conditional statements or try-catch exception block. The code snippet 'for' does the same to generate a normal for-loop.

To generate the for-loop structure, write 'for' inside your Visual Studio code editor and press TAB key twice to generate it:
