Messed up for loop

[Jeremy Graham]

I don't know what's wrong with the following code:

class test3 {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		int b = 0;
		for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++); {
			System.out.println("b = " + b);
			System.out.println("");
			b++;
		}
	}
}

but the only output I get is:

b = 0

before the program terminates. Any ideas why?

You should be carefully observing the for loop statement- There's something due to which the statements within the block will not be executed as part of the loop.

This is a tough typo to spot. In a for loop, the code that iterates is immediately after the parentheses. Typically, this code is enclosed inside braces...

for(...) {...}

So what if you had this instead...?

for(...) ; {...}
