Code Inspection: Loop control variable is never changed inside loop
In the following code snippet
int j = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < 10; j++)
{
...
}
the for
loop variable is not varying. This causes the loop to execute indefinitely (unless for instance an exception occurs). ReSharper warns us that there is nothing constraining the loop – it either fails immediately or it runs indefinitely. The error in the code above is caused by incrementing the incorrect variable (j
as opposed to i
).
