== Why is this an issue? A ``++for++`` loop with a stop condition that can never be reached, such as one with a counter that moves in the wrong direction, will run infinitely. While there are occasions when an infinite loop is intended, the convention is to construct such loops as ``++while++`` loops. More typically, an infinite ``++for++`` loop is a bug. === Noncompliant code example [source,javascript] ---- for (var i = 0; i < strings.length; i--) { // Noncompliant; //... } ---- === Compliant solution [source,javascript] ---- for (var i = 0; i < strings.length; i++) { //... } ---- ifdef::env-github,rspecator-view[] ''' == Implementation Specification (visible only on this page) include::../message.adoc[] ''' == Comments And Links (visible only on this page) include::comments-and-links.adoc[] endif::env-github,rspecator-view[]
