| SYNTAX |
| for(init; expr2; expr3) statement; |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| Execute <init> once. Then, while <expr2> returns a non-zero |
| value, execute <statement>. Every time <statement> has been |
| executed, or a 'continue' statement has been executed, execute |
| <expr3> before next loop. |
| |
| <init> is usually a series of one or more expressions (remember |
| that assignments are expressions, too), separated by commas. |
| Additionally it is also allowed to define new local variables |
| here and assign them an initial value. The scope of such variables |
| is the whole for statement. |
| |
| Examples for legal <init> expressions are: |
| |
| for (i = 0; ... |
| for (i = 0, j = 0; ... |
| for (i = 0, int j = i; ... |
| for (int j = 4; ... |
| |
| Illegal <init> expressions are: |
| |
| for (int i; ... : no value assigned |
| for (int i += 4; ... : only plain assignments allowed |
| |
| A 'break' in the 'statement' will terminate the loop. A |
| 'continue' will continue the execution from the beginning of |
| the loop. |
