What does i stand for in i - - ?

[webmanz]

What does  the " i " stand for in i - -  ? Special meaning?

for ( var   i   =  10  ;    i   > 10   ;  i -  -   )

 

and is  the above same as saying:

var i=10;

i  > 10;

i = i - 1;

Hi,

i is just a variable to hold information. In this case, it is holding the count.

Could we have used any letter besides "i" and still it work?

example:

for ( var   t   =  10  ;    t   > 10   ;  t -  -   )

Why doesn't the  i - -

end in a semi-colon then parenthesis ?

i.e. like this:

i - - ; )

Wow ... old post. Last argument does not need a semi-colon.
