Description

This rule prevents you from creating conditions in which a for loop might end up in an infinite loop. If you need an infinite loop, use while statements.

Non-Compliant Code Examples

// test if '++', '--'
for(var i = 0; i < 10; i--){}
for(var i = 0; i <= 10; i--){}
for(var i = 10; i > 10; i++){}
for(var i = 10; i >= 0; i++){}

// test if '+=', '-='
for(var i = 0; i < 10; i-=1){}
for(var i = 0; i <= 10; i-=1){}
for(var i = 10; i > 10; i+=1){}
for(var i = 10; i >= 0; i+=1){}
for(var i = 0; i < 10; i+=-1){}
for(var i = 0; i <= 10; i+=-1){}
for(var i = 10; i > 10; i-=-1){}
for(var i = 10; i >= 0; i-=-1){}

Compliant Code Examples

// test if '++', '--'
for(var i = 0; i < 10; i++){}
for(var i = 0; i <= 10; i++){}
for(var i = 10; i > 0; i--){}
for(var i = 10; i >= 0; i--){}

// test if '+=', '-=',
for(var i = 0; i < 10; i+=1){}
for(var i = 0; i <= 10; i+=1){}
for(var i = 0; i < 10; i-=-1){}
for(var i = 0; i <= 10; i-=-1){}
for(var i = 10; i > 0; i-=1){}
for(var i = 10; i >= 0; i-=1){}
for(var i = 10; i > 0; i+=-1){}
for(var i = 10; i >= 0; i+=-1){}

// test if no update.
for(var i = 10; i > 0;){}
for(var i = 10; i >= 0;){}

// other cond-expressions.
