Thread: why does the value in for loop reset?

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

Code:

int main()
{
    int n;
    int i;

    for (n=1; n<=5; n++)
        {
    for (i=0; i<n; i++) // when the code reaches this loop and prints "*" i; will be +1 i.e i=1; and eventually i; will equal to n; and the code will jump out of the loop. What I dont understand is why i; resets after jumping out of the loop. When the loop starts again, i; equals to 0 instead of being 1 smaller than n;
        {
         printf("*");
        }
         printf("\n");
        }

return0;
}

Im not trying to achieve a different result. I just need to know why i; goes back to 0 after jumping out of the loop.
