Expression in for loop

[Vamshi Vrukodar]

in the following code,
int j=0;
for(int i=0;j>3;i++)
j=j+1;

System.out.println(j);
the output is 0 where I expected it to be 3.
Please can you explain the above behaviour.

If you replace j>3 to i>3, the output is still 0. That means when the condition not match, the statement j=j+1; in the for loop will not be executed.

  
int j=0;
for(int i=0;i>3;i++) {
  j=j+1;
}
System.out.println(j); // 0

What your code is saying is that 'while j>3 then increment j by 1'. Of course this will not happen because j started out as 0.
You need to change your code from
for(int i=0;j > 3;i++)
to
for(int i=0;j < 3;i++)
