6.10.3 Testing Techniques for for Loops

One of the most important tests for for loops is that the starting and ending

values of the loop variable are set correctly. For example, to execute a for

loop five times, we could set the initial value of the loop variable to 0 and

use the condition (

i < 5), or we could set the initial value of the loop vari-

able to 1 and use the condition (

i <= 5). Either of these for loop headers will

cause the loop to execute five times.
