Correct name for a variable length loop?
If I have a loop construct looping between i = 0 and i = 10 like below
for(i=0, i=10, i++) { ... } and changed it to for(i=0, i=x, i++) { ... } What is the name for the loop construct in the second instance. I believe there to be a specific name for this construct - I don't think variable length loop is the name I am looking for. |

I think a for loop is a pre-test loop just like the while loop because you are testing it first before you actually do anything the loop's body,unlike the do while loop where you (post) test it afterwards.

It's a dynamic loop.
Demon - it was not really wrote in any language - just a pseudocode. |

It's called a freaking for loop. Don't create useless names for things.

In C it's just a while or a for depending on what you're doing with it, if I'm not mistaken. Maybe you have some magic up your sleeve, but it should either be event or counter controlled... while for event, and for for counter.
