Hi, if you try to iterate over ::Symbol you get an error: MWE: for i in :c @show i end ERROR: MethodError: no method matching iterate(::Symbol) however it works fine with Int: for i in 5 @show i end i = 5 note also that it works for: for i in [:c] @show i end Is there a solution for this?

ERROR: MethodError: no method matching iterate(::Symbol)

As in the discussions above stated: there is not much rationale behind making Number iterable.
