[rules-users] For loop inside a modify block problem

[Mauricio Salatino]

what is this doing:
  for (int i = 0; i < $item.quantity; i++) {
            $gsc.doSomethingElse($item.id);
  }

"i" is not being used inside the  $gsc.doSomethingElse($item.id); sentence..
that means that you are executing that always with the same
parameter.. do you really need that?
By the way what is $item?
Cheers
