How does a for loop check its conditions in Java?

Question

My question has to do with the order in which java checks the conditions of a for loop when there is a print statement in the \"conditions\" of the loop. It

Answer 1

for (  ;  ;  ) {
     
}

is equivalent to something like:

while (  ) {
    
    
}

So you have:

i = -1;
while ( i < n ) {
    i++;
    System.out.print(i + " ");
}

The "problem" in your test question is that the types of statements usually put in the and portions are switched.
