Question

while (status)

for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)

Is the following syntactically correct:

for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++ && status)

I am trying to have the for loop break early if status is true.

Answer 1

Syntactically, you might want to use:

for (int i = 0; i < 3 && status; i++)

which is valid.

Some consider it bad form though, as it leads to more complicated loops and annoyed maintenance programmers. Another alternative you might want to explore would be:

for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
     if (!status) { break; }
}
