At what point in a for loop does incrementation take place?
Is it at the closing curly bracket, or is it when it gets back to the start of the loop for another repetition?
Re: At what point in a for loop does incrementation take place?
How can you tell when the loop is at the bottom or has returned to the top of the loop? I do not see any way to make use of that difference.
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
Re: At what point in a for loop does incrementation take place?
I was trying to understand the effect that the continue; keyword has.
I think it actually increments when it reaches the closing of the loop though, because when I use continue to jump from an inner loop, to the end of an outer loop, the inner loop doesn't get incremented when the program gets to the beginning of that loop again, but the outer loop does get incremented.
So also tells me another thing I was wondering: does continue jump to the start of the loop or the end of the loop.

To see what the code does where, you need to read the byte code that is generated by the compiler.

That might be a bit beyond my expertise right now, but thanks for the info.

Hey,
The increment expression is invoked after each iteration of the loop.
