difficulty with "for" loop

Hello. I'm learning about for loops. The first example below I understand but I'm confused about the second. Is it just incrementing throug the code? If so, could you just put "imynumber2" without the +1 after it?

I think you need to recognize the distinction between 2 different variables iMyNumber and iMyNumber2. To help facilitate this, review this very similar code:

Hmm. I understand the two variables, but I don't understand why you can put "imynumber" in the first example and it will add 1 each time but it won't do the same if I put "imynumber2" (without the +1).

The first one doesn't add anything. The first one is actually flawed code that will error. What you are thinking though is that it just keeps replacing the value so at the end of the loop "iMyNumber" is equal to the last number in the loop (in this case 100). Hence the point of the addition. To fix the first code it would require something like this:
