While loops and for loops: Correct Solution

Part 1

Translate the following natural language description of a loop into a for loop:

Declare a variable named ol of type long, initialized to 20. Then, until ol is less than dermi, subtract 2 from ol.

Solution

for (long ol = 20; ol <= dermi; ol -= 2) {
    ...
}

Something to double-check in your solution:

• Note that the problem says “until,” not “while.” Did you use the correct operator in the loop’s end condition (ol <= dermi)?
