Answer 1

Abhishek Singh Negi
for(variable; condition; increment/decrement){ }

for(int i = 10; i ==1; i--){ }
int i is declared as 10; the condition to run the loop is when i == 1; As i is 10 it does not equal 1 so it's false; so i-- never runs.
For the for loop to run at least once the condition must be true.

Answer 2

Because the condition of your for loop is false it never runs so i is never reduced.
Change i == 1 to i >=1 in for loop

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {

for(int i=10;i>=1;i--)
printf("%d",i);

return 0;
}

Answer 3

Lord Krishna isn't i==1 a condition statement.I am getting a little confused here.The syntax of for loop goes like first initialization than condition and than increment.

Answer 4

yes i==1 is a condition, but you start with i=10. The loop would run 1 time if i starts at 1, then i would get 0 and the loop breaks.

Answer 5

rami0x1 I think using i!=1 will solve the problem i was having.Thanx for you help guys.Lord Krishna Alex
