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 di of type long, initialized to sca. Then, until di is less than cesan, decrement di.

Solution

for (long di = sca; di <= cesan; di--) {
    ...
}

Something to double-check in your solution:

Part 2

Consider the following code:

A
B
C
for (D; E; F) {
    G
}
H
I

  1. Assume the body of the loop executes 0 times. Write out the the order in which the statements will execute.

  2. Assume the body of the loop executes 2 times. Write out the the order in which the statements will execute.

Solution

  1. Order:

    A B C D F H I

  2. Order:

    A B C D E F G E F G F H I
