What is the diferents between these 2 thing? - Andom - 04.06.2009

Hello,
What is the diferents between these 2 thing?

Код:
for(new i = 0; i < MAX_PLAYERS; i++)
{

}
and:
Код:
new idx;
while(idx < MAX_PLAYERS)
{
   idx++;
}
And if there isn't any diferents, what is bether or faster?

Both are the same. But i preffer the for loop over while

They are exactly the same thing except that while has no initializer or incremental step. while reduces to a special case of for.

Same thing.

Thank you guys! but which one do you prefer? i mean which is the fastest?

The code is functionally equivalent. The speed difference between these would be negligible, if you are seeking speed improvements I suggest you read some of the popular optimization threads. They can point you in the right direction.

The "for" will make the script much more readable

It depend what you are doing. And yes i confirm there is no speed difference.
