Thread: For Loop with condition

[public static void PrintNum () {

int i;
int j = 0;

for (i =100; j<5; i=i)j=100-(i-=1);
System.out.println(i);

} ]
I'm not following how it calculated to 95 since I'm confused with this
part i=i)j = 100-(i-=1);

Thank you in advance for clarification

To see what the code is doing add a println() statement first thing inside of the loop that prints out the value of i and j so you can see how they change as the loop executes.

One trick the coder has used is the fact that the value of an assignment state is returned by the statement. For example:

  int x, y;
  x = (y = 2);   //  assigns y a value of 2 and returns that 2 to x
  //  here x is 2

The loop continues as long as (j < 5) is true.
