A for
loop
is a fundamental programming construct used to execute a block of code repeatedly. However, if the loop’s condition is false before the first
iteration, the loop will never execute.
for (int i = 0; i < 0; i++) // Noncompliant: the condition is always false, the loop will never execute
{
// ...
}
Rewrite the loop to ensure the condition evaluates to true
at least once.
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) // Compliant: the condition is true at least once, the loop will execute
{
// ...
}
This bug has the potential to cause unexpected outcomes as the loop might contain critical code that needs to be executed.
