    Smile for in an if and if yes how?

    That subject line just rolls right over the tongue eh! Greetings!
    I would just like to know if I can use a "for" in an "if" statement. If yes then what is the correct method. What also about a "for" in an "if" inside a "while". Mostly I wonder about the braces and if the same rules would apply as if they were alone. ............ Thks all!

    Code:
    while(1)
    {
           if (SomeBollux)
                {
                    for(i=0;i<SomeBollux;++i)
                        {
                                DoSomethingUseful();
                                DoSomethingElseUseful();
                         }
                }
           else
                 {
                    for(i=0;i<SomeOtherBollux;++i)
                         {
                               DoSomethingLessUseful();
                               DoSomethingDownrightUseless();
                          }
                  }
          if(GetOutOfWhileLoop) break;
    }
    Something like that?

    Nesting is allowed, just keep you code laid out properly to help you design it, and don't nest too far, it will soon become too complex.

    Code:
        if (Something == true)
        {
            while (SomethingElse == true)
            {
                for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
                {
                    /* Do stuff */
                }
            }
        }
    [edit]Goddammit, beaten again
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
