    Iteration

    What is the value of variable i and of variable j on line 4 below:

    Code:
    Line  Code
    1    j=0;
    2    for(i=0; i<10;i+=3)
    3         j=j+2;
    4    // What is the value of variable i and variable j?
    Is this how it iterates:
    i j
    0 0
    3 2
    6 4
    9 6


    therefore i=9 and j=6 ?????

    What happened to just trying it out?
    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.

    Check for yourself by printing them out. Note that line 4 is after the loop.

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

    unfortunatley i dont have a compiler

    but i think i get it.

    i = 0
    j = 2
    i = 3
    j = 4
    i = 6
    j = 6
    i = 9
    j = 8

    Therefore j = 8 i = 12

    at uni we use linux and i think C90 compiler. where can i get a compiler similar to that but for windows vista
