Question about for loops - CoDeZ - 02.02.2013

Hello, While looking in some game modes, i saw this loop

pawn Код:

for(new i; i<MAX_PLAYERS; i++)
{
    if(IsPlayerConnected(i))
    {
        // do the stuff here.
    }
}

Question is, why should we check if the player is connected or not? even though it works without checking the player

Because you only want to do stuff to players who are connected. Use foreach anyway.

For most things this is indeed a redundant check since other functions also have inbuilt connection checks. Though you will need to evaluate every case separately. On a side note, I use this configuration:

pawn Код:

for(new i; i < MAX_PLAYERS; i++)
{
    if(!IsPlayerConnected(i)) continue;

    // do the stuff here.
}

In before someone comes blabbing about foreach.
