Thread: For Loops: Which Method Is Better?

Hello! Writing some code recently I came up with two different ways of doing for loops/statements.

Method 1:

Code:

for (int iii = 0; iii <  5; iii++)
{
     SomeStatement;
     SomeOtherStatement;
     AnotherStatement;
}

Method 2:

Code:

for (int iii = 0; iii <  5; iii++)
     SomeStatement;

for (int iii = 0; iii <  5; iii++)
     SomeOtherStatement;

for (int iii = 0; iii <  5; iii++)
     AnotherStatement;

As far as I can tell both methods are equivalent (please correct me if I'm wrong)

Assuming both do the exact same thing, which would generally be preferred? Thanks!
