Or if it doen't matter in what order the iteration is performed,
even
for (int i = f(n); i--; )
might do. (Note the i-- is post-decrement and in the 'test' position)
Saves usually a register and replaces a check against an 'arbitrary'
number with a check for zero (which is faster/smaller on some
architectures).
Of course, this won't work when you can't invert the iteration order.
