what is the meaning of this massage..

I got a for loop in my code.
For which i get this syntax error massage.
|11|error: 'for' loop initial declaration used outside C99 mode|

what these words mean?

i did a standart for loop.

Show the code. I can guess, but it would be much more accurate if I could see the code to verify my suspicion.

You probably tried to declare a variable in the for loop like this:

Code:

for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)

This is not permitted prior to the 1999 edition of the C standard, so you should write:

Code:

int i;
for (i = 0; i < n; ++i)

I wish I could get a massage every time I got a syntax error!
