Which loop has better performance? Increment or decrement? [duplicate]

Answer 1

I do not think there is much difference between the performance of both loops.

I suppose, it becomes a different situation when the loops look like this.

for(int i = 0; i < getMaximum(); i++)
{
}

for(int i = getMaximum() - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
}

As the getMaximum() function is called once or multiple times (assuming it is not an inline function)
