    Counting the number of times a loop has run

    I need to know how many times the following loop was run and have no clue: ( I need to know how many "v"s I have calculated)

    Code:
    		
    for (i = 0; i <= D; ++i) //Counting up by one for duration/burnrate values
    {
    float m, v = vi, h = 500;  //Find t for h = 0.0, set as td
    	// Must initialize v to the initial velocity ( like v = 0)
    
    m = masschange(duration[i], burnrate[i], total);
    
    for (j = 0; j <= duration[i]; j = j + tstep)	// j keeps track of the amount of time each duration has run for
    
    {          		     				
     a = ((m*G) - (burnrate[i]*ve))/m;
    				
    v = v - (a*tstep);	// Like ++v, but with something else +'ing
          		 		
    printf("%.3f\n", v);
    fprintf(outFile, "%.3f\n", v);	// Calculates the nth velocity
    
    h = h - (v*tstep);
    printf("\t%.3f\n", h); //Check to see if the height is going to 0
    
    if (h <= 0) 		// Stops when h = 0.
    {
       return 1;
    }
    			
    }
    }

    So increment something then, say
    numOfVsCalculated++;
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
