I don't think its specific to the C language, I think its intrinsic
to all looping operations in imperative programming.

All you've done is replace the for loop with a while loop. You are
still setting the start condition and the end condition for the 
looping operation. These are things the compiler (or rather the
language) expect you to do.

By contrast, the O'caml mapi function automatically figures out
the start and end conditions from what it knows about the array.
