Re: [basex-talk] increment a variable only when a conditional is true?

How do I decrement y?

Pardon, output for a simpler example:

<xy x="1" y="98"/> <xy x="2" y="98"/> <xy x="3" y="98"/> <xy x="4" y="98"/> <xy x="5" y="98"/> <xy x="6" y="98"/> <xy x="7" y="98"/> <xy x="8" y="98"/> <xy x="9" y="98"/>

the FLWOR:

xquery version "3.0"; let $y := 99 for $x in (1 to 9) let $y := $y - 1 return <xy x='{$x}' y='{$y}' />

is it not possible to decrement $y without using some external scripting function? That seems odd.

thanks,
