Hey guys one more question, what would happen if suppose there was smthing like this:-

public lalal()
{
         for(new i; i <= ArraySize(somearray) - 1; i++)
         {
         Somethinghere()
         }
}

ok so if in the above code the array size of "somearray" turns out to be 0, what would the loop do ?

Will check the condition, and will execute one time, cause you check <= 0. i starts from 0, which is <= 0, but what if you will test this yourself ? You should cache ArraySize.

No, it won't execute even once if ArraySize() returned zero, because he subtracted it by one, giving -1, and 0(i) is not less or equal to -1.

I was thinking that his question is about arraysize -1 and not just arraysize.

Yap my question was for arraysize -1, anyway thanks KliPPy and Hamlet

@Hamlet i dont cache arraysize because i change it in my code several times.....

Not to cache it in that way, but to put it in a new variable before you start the "for" loop. It is better to make one native call and spend 1 cell of memory than to make X + 1 native calls, where X stands for the array size in this case.

Oh ok ... got it... thnx again ;)

Just because you can do it does not mean it's a good way to do it.

You should answer these types of questions by yourself since they are easily tested.

Of course it's a good practice to return in a loop, why would it not be?

[/sarcasm] (I hope ...)

I was referring to Dare Devil's reasoning not his conclusion. But in this case, it's probably a coding style thing or it depends on the specific purpose of the loop.
