1 does not fucking equal 0. Man, I thought he went to school.

that is an i, you sloppy milkshake.

Sloppy milkshake?

It's not my fault that i = 0. I didn't know you could make a letter equal a number...that must be that "magic integer" or something like that.

haha

So, when counting something you need a counter, some place in memory to hold the count. A variable.

Imagine you're doing a head count at work because some prisoner escaped, or something. So you'd be all...


int CountedNumberOfPrisoners;

for( CountedNumberOfPrisoners = 0; CountedNumberOfPrisoners < CORRECT_NUMBER; CountedNumberOfPrisoners++)
{
if( PrisonerNumber( CountedNumberOfPrisoners).IsGone() )
{
SoundTheAlarm();
PunchSomebody();
}

}


This counts prisoners until you've counted them all, and if at any point one of them is missing, you sound the alarm and punch someone.

That for() up there is three parts: 1) what do i do in the very beginning 2) when do I stop doing this 3) what do I do after each time through.

Then it loops through the part underneath it until part 2 is met. So like me at lunch--


for( iBellyFullness = 0; iBellyFullness < OMG_TIME_TO_PUKE; iBellyFullness++)
{
EatCookie();
DrinkPibb();
}
