Well Steven, your code would enter into an infinite loop.
It would trace the first "i", then the if will be true, and it will loop
till j is false (reaches zero).
Then while(i--) runs again, the if will be true again, and the while(j--)
will run forever, since j will start at -1, which is true.
(Actually not forever, since eventually an int will overflow and become
false again...)
