This thread was pretty interesting. Sorry, I came late to the party.
I can totally see why folks would struggle with this. Don't feel bad. Looks
like everyone did the right thing:
* A person suggests something that doesn't sound correct
* Expert clarifies the issue
* Everyone tries things out in a sandbox to prove to themselves that the
expert is correct.
Result:
* Progress on the project
* Transfer of knowledge
Here is my interpretation of ++i vs --i in for loops
for(;;++i) => Old-school C programmer, or someone like me who has picked it up
to look like I am.
for(;;i++) => Java developer, or some who is too cool to be and old-school C
programmer
As Chris pointed out, modern compilers will do the most efficient operation in
this context, which is ++i. So in my mind:
* Write your loop in the style that is used in the code base for consistency
sake.
Sincerely,
Julie S.

Yeah, I did this, too. Even in Perl it makes do difference.
#!/usr/bin/perl
for ($i=0; $i<10; $i++) { print $i; }
print "\n";
for ($i=0; $i<10; ++$i) { print $i; }
print "\n";
Of course it's a world wide conspiracy against me. Someone travelled
into the past and changed all compilers and interpreters.
