You can say
  if it's not the one you want then move to the next one.

Or you can say
  find the one you want somehow, and, by the way, here's how to move
to the next one.

The first says what the computer must do. I reckon it's easier to see
that it's right, easier to notice that the starting value needs to be
right, and easier to notice that you mustn't fall off the end (or must
check that that can't happen).
