If-loop that remembers value

Using Arduino Programming Questions
#1

Okay so I’m using millis to manage time and when the set amount of time has passed I want to activate a if loop with four different values (i<=3 i++).

The problem is that I want the code to first do i==0 then go back to millis until set time has passed then do i==1 and so on. Is there any way the loop can remember which value i has?

#2

Yes.

Declare a variable, set its value and use it in the for() loop instead of declaring the new variable inside the for()

#3

Just as an example of what @arduino_new has said, try this code,

void setup()
{
    Serial.begin(38400);
    byte i = 0;
    byte limit = 4;
    for (;i < limit; i++)
    {
        Serial.println(i);
        if (i == 3)
        {
            Serial.println("==========");
            limit = 8;
        }
    }
    Serial.println("==========");
    limit = 12;
    for (;i < limit; i++) {Serial.println(i);};
}

void loop()
{
}

So you want use the first for from 0 to 7 and the other from 8 to 11?
And what about millis()?
