Question

i wanted to analyse my projet, and xcode analyser find some Dead Code in my rootcontroller
Xcode tell me that :

Dead code
The left operand to '+' is always 0
-> Variable 'i' initialized to 0
-> The left operand to '+' is always 0

Can someone explain me this ans how to clean that code, thanks….

here is my rootcontroller.m

#import "RootViewController22.h"
#import "LabelCell.h"
#import "NibLoadedCell.h"
#import "GradientBackgroundTable.h"
#import "NibLoadedCell2.h"
#import "NibLoadedCell3.h"

@implementation RootViewController22

//
// title
//
// returns the navigation bar text for the front screen
//


/*- (NSString *)title
{
    return NSLocalizedString(@"Les Robes du Bengal", @"");
}*/



//
// createRows
//
// Constructs all the rows on the front screen and animates them in
//
- (void)createRows
{


    [self addSectionAtIndex:0 withAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
    for (NSInteger i = 0; i < 1; i++)

In your createRows method, you have a loop that will only execute once:

for (NSInteger i = 0; i < 1; i++) { ... }

Therefore, things like i + 1 and i % 2 could just be constants since i will always be 0.
