Java Question for cycle

Star-Dust said:

I found myself such a cycle to translate into B4X. And I can't understand what the final condition is for which the cycle stops. Usually it's a boolean condition now I find the negation of an integer, so what does that mean?

Java:

int i = 0;
for (; !i; i = 0 + i + 1) {
    System.out.println(i);  
}

For i = 1 To 10
   Log(i) 'Will print 1 to 10 (inclusive).

int i = 1; for (; i==10; i = 0 + i + 1) { System.out.println(i); }

!i is equivalent, in some languages, to i==0
In other words, the for loop will only execute while i==0 (or until i<>0)
So if I'm not mistaken, the example code of the first post should only loop once.

In this case, the equivalent code would be

B4X:

for i=0 to 0
...
Next

(although some 'for' loops with more complex statements fit better into a Do..while..loop structure)

Yes, it's strange ?
Perhaps it is an untested sample code written by someone who also programs in C/C++, and mistakenly mixed C and Java syntax
