R help - Feb 2010 - for loop the can be skipped

Hello,

there is compact way to skip a for loop when the requested number of 
iterations is 0 ?

For example, something equivalent to the following code:

for (i in some_function(from=1,to=iteration_cycles)) { ... }

Where the loop is skipped when iteration_cycles==0

Thanks in advance.

Sure:

for (i in seq_len(iteration_cycles)) { ... }

will execute 0 times if requested.
