Loop Not Executed Even Once

The program is correct in syntax. The startingValue in the FOR statement is 7. This is OK so far as syntax goes. The program asks to start I out at 7 and count up to 5. Since I is already larger than 5, the loop is just skipped.

Here is a program where this behavior makes better sense:

' Counting Loop with user input
'
PRINT "What start do you want"
INPUT START
'
PRINT "What finish do you want"
INPUT FINISH
'
FOR COUNT = START TO FINISH
  PRINT COUNT;  
NEXT COUNT
'
END

Sometimes the data input from a user means that only part of a program should execute. It is nice that this happens automatically without additional statements.
