🔄 Traditional for Loops with Multiple Counters

Introduction

The traditional for loop bundles initialization, condition testing, and increment/step operations into a single structured header.

🏛️ Anatomy of the `for` Loop

1for (init-statement; condition; iteration-expression) {
2    // Body statements
3}

🤹 Multiple Loop Counters in a Single Loop

You can initialize and advance multiple loop variables simultaneously using the comma operator:

1#include <iostream>
2 
3int main() {
4    // Two pointers converging towards each other:
5    for (int i = 0, j = 10; i <= j; ++i, --j) {
6        std::cout << "i: " << i << " <---> j: " << j << "\n";
7    }
8 
9    return 0;
10}

⚠️ Scope of Loop Variables

In Modern C++, variables declared in the for header are scoped strictly to the loop body:

1for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
2    // 'i' exists here
3}
4// 'i' is automatically destroyed here; no memory leak or scope pollution.
