[QUOTE="Jeff Schwab, post: 628412"]
Where do you get off telling me what I want?

I prefer "while" to "for."  By using a for-loop aren't you avoiding the
simpler and even more canonical while-loop?

Thanks for the lecture.

Like using while-loops?

"Playing artiste?"  You think I'm dancing around the computer with a
beret tilted jauntily on my head, and a rose clenched between my teeth?

I would love to know how old you imagine I am. :)

As much as I would like to take credit for bing creative, I did not
invent the while-loop.

I have yet to see a standard that required me to use a particular kind
of loop, though I certainly *have* seen standards that avoided do-while
loops and other language features perceived as being unnecessary or
redundant.

You would have if you had looked during the four years I worked there.

Design Patterns are a fascinating field of study, but they're really not
related to what we're discussing.  We're talking about a built-in
feature of many popular programming languages.  Aren't we?
