hi guys i am a beginner at programming, what does the first line of this code does?....i know the second line generates a random number between 0 and 10 but i am not sure what the first line does....please explain

for(int index=5; index<10; index++)
{random_integer = (rand()%10)+1 }

It runs what is in braces (i.e. the second line) with the variable index set to 5, then increments index to 6, runs the second line again, then 7, then 8, and then 9, all the same ... and then when it increments index to 10, we stop, because it says to only do it while index is less than 10.
