R help - May 2008 - for loop step

How do I define the incremental step in a "for" loop?

for (j in 1:10){
    cat(j, "\n")
}

In the above example, if I want to increment j by 2 where do I specify that?

Thanks

You are doing it in your bit about 1:10, which is shorthand for 
generating a sequence 1, 2, 3, ..., 9, 10.  Use ?seq to do what you
want.

for(i in seq(1, 10, by = 2))
    cat(i, "\n")

Best,
Erik
