Incrementing the for loop (loop variable) in scala by power of 5

[Mohamed Sanaulla]

I have this particular requirement where the increment in the loop variable is to be done by multiplying it with 5 after each iteration. In Java we could implement it this way

for(int i=1;i<100;i=i*5){}

In scala I was trying the following code-

var j=1
for(i<-1.to(100).by(scala.math.pow(5,j).toInt))
{
    println(i+" "+j)
    j=j+1
}

But its printing the following output:
1 1
6 2
11 3
16 4
21 5
26 6
31 7
36 8
....
....

Its incrementing by 5 always. So how do I got about actually multiplying the increment by 5 instead of adding it.
