Article-I.D.: azure.818 Posted: Mon May 10 15:37:47 1982 Received: Tue May 11 04:00:24 1982 In the C Reference Manual at the end of the Ritchie book in section 9.6 Ritchie describes the 'for' statement as being equivalent to the 'while' statement as follows: The 'for' statement has the form for (expression-1 ; expression-2 ; expression-3) statement This statement is equivalent to expression-1; while (expression-2) { statement expression-3; } This does not seem to hold when 'statement' is a continue. In the while statement, expression-3 will not get executed. Am I misunderstanding something? Andy Crump Tektronix, Inc teklabs!tekmdp!azure!andyc
