Programming Parallax Servo

When programming the servo in BS2 basic language, one example is " For counter = 1 to 220
Pulsout 12, 750
Pause 20
Next"

Can someone please tell me why program a loop, and what is the equivalent program above in BlocklyProp? Thanks

    Title above should be "Programming Parallax Servo"

    a standard servo expects a refresh every 50ms or so.

    the length of the pulse send in that period determines the position of the servo.

    no clue about blockly,

    Thanks.
    I think that coding a servo with a loop is to hold the servo pointer at a certain position for a specific time. Can someone provide me with a blockly coding? Thanks
