The Code for: "Maths [included Looping x times example].cmd"

This is the example, a shortcut was installed to this code :

@echo off
::@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
:: $Header:   C:/DBAREIS/Projects.PVCS/Win32/ScriptingTipsAndTricks/EXAMPLE[cmd].Maths [included Looping x times example].cmd.pvcs   1.0   29 Jun 2014 12:51:20   USER "Dennis"  $
::@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
setlocal

::--- Simple loop -----------------------------------------------------------
set Counter=0
:LOOP
   set /A Counter=%Counter% + 1
   echo COUNTER: %Counter%
if not "%Counter%" == "10" goto Loop
echo.
echo Finished loop, counter now "%Counter%"

::--- Some more complex maths -----------------------------------------------
set Operation=(Number + Counter) * 100
set    Number=1000
set /A Number=%Operation%
echo.
echo %Operation% ==^> %NUMBER%

Please note that that I am not trying to show how great I am by producing batch files 9,000 characters long on one line that no one will understand or be able to debug when they go wrong. I am going out of my way to comment the code and make it verbose so beginners and advanced users will both benefit. I don't claim to be an expert that knows everything, if I'm wrong or make a mistake then please contact me and let me know :-)
