Why did my loop add only once?
Short answer. A semicolon after for(...) made the body empty, so the block below ran once.
What is the other classic loop bug?
Forgetting to update the counter, which makes the loop run forever.
Remember
| No ; after for( ) |
| Always update the counter |
This loop should add three times. It adds once. Why? The semicolon ends the loop with an empty body. The block runs only once. Remove the semicolon. Remember. No semicolon after for. Always update the counter.
