Probably should point out that for loops in C are syntactic sugar for while loops at the language level. for loop Executes a loop. Used as a shorter equivalent of while loop. https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/language/for https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/language/for I am amazed at how good compilers are today. There is also the difference between portability, where it means it compiles vs meaning that the precision and behavior is similar across platforms. long would be more portable for a successful compilation but may cause side effects. I shouldn't have switched meanings in the above reply context.
