'Len()'/'At()' loop can be replaced with iterator

Reports index-based loops over standard library types where the loop body only accesses elements by index, such as x.At(i).

Some standard library types now provide iterator methods, which let you range over the elements directly. This removes index arithmetic and makes the loop intent clearer.

Example:

func TupleNames(t *types.Tuple) string { var names []string for i := 0; i < t.Len(); i++ { names = append(names, t.At(i).Name()) } return strings.Join(names, ",") }

To fix the code, use the Replace Len/At loop with Tuple.Variables iteration quick-fix.

After the quick-fix is applied:

func TupleNames(t *types.Tuple) string { var names []string for v := range t.Variables() { names = append(names, v.Name()) } return strings.Join(names, ",") }
