== How to fix it

It's generally recommended to only update the loop counter in the loop declaration. If skipping elements or iterating at a different pace based on a condition is needed, consider using a while loop or a different structure that better fits the needs.

=== Code examples

==== Noncompliant code example

[source,csharp,diff-id=1,diff-type=noncompliant]
----
for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) 
{
    Console.WriteLine(i);
    if (condition) 
    {
        i = 20;
    }
}
----

==== Compliant solution

[source,csharp,diff-id=1,diff-type=compliant]
----
int i = 1;
while (i <= 5) 
{
    Console.WriteLine(i);
    if (condition) 
    {
        i = 20;
    }
    else
    {
        i++;
    }
}
