If a while
or for
statement uses a loop counter, and increments or decrements the counter by more than one, it must use an inequality operator (that is, <
, <=
, >
, or >=
) to terminate the loop. This prevents the loop from executing indefinitely or until the counter wraps around and reaches the final value. (See rule NUM16 NUM00-J. Detect or prevent integer overflow.)
