Somebody said that the initialization statement in for() loop is not necessarily to be placed in the for() statement. Can you please clarify this.

Solution 1

You don't have to, no:

C++

for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {...}

Can be written as:

C++

i = 0;
for (; i < 10; i++) {...}

Or even:

C++

i = 0;
for (;;) 
   {
   ...
   if (++i >= 10) break;
   }

But the first form is normally clearer.

You're welcome!

BTW: A little cultural advice, if you don't mind!
It is not a good idea to use "dear" online - I know it is perfectly normal in India, but in western cultures if the person you are talking to is female, it can be taken as sexist and patronising - and you never know what gender someone is online! :laugh:
In this case it's fine, there is no problem - but you should consider just leaving the word out in future.
