Thread: imitations

Hi!

I'm new to the boards, yet not new to forum posting and programming (have been doing both for almost half a decade), I hope I can have a nice stay here and see how it goes

I'm currently learning C++ and would like to know something; I know that many of the loops in C/C++ can be represented using a regular while loop. In the following examples, please correct me if I'm wrong:

Representing a while-statement using a do-statement

Code:

do
{
     if (/* condition */) 
     {
          // ...
     }
     else
          break;
} while (true);

Representing a for-statement using a do-statement

Code:

int i = 0;
do
{
     if (i < MAX)
     {
          // ...
          i++;
     }
     else
          break;
} while (true);

Representing a while-statement using a for-statement

Code:

for (; /* condition */;)
{
     // ...
}

Representing a do-statement using a for-statement

Code:

// the statements go here...
for (; /* condition */;)
{
     // same statements as above...
}

These are my guesses at the moment. Please feel free to correct me if I happened to make a mistake in any of those or if you see that any of them are inefficient (say, if I included something that was not necessary and there is a better way to represent the same thing, etc.)

Thanks!
