If a while
or for
statement uses a loop counter, and increments or decrements it by more than one, it should use a numerical comparison 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 guideline INT00-J. Perform explicit range checking to ensure avoid integer operations do not overflow.)
