Distinctions about C and C++ Programming and the Loop Syntax

Broadly Speaking, The difference between C and C++ is the approach that both these languages use to solve any problem i.e

C is procedural language and C++ is an Object Oriented language. Originally, C++ was based on C and maintains much of the functionality of C. But there are a lot of DIFFERENCES too between these languages. For example

1. C does not provide Boolean Type while C++ has it.

2.  C++ has a much larger library than C.

and etc.

Syntax of  "for loop"  is same for C and C++:

                                        for ( init-expr; test-expr; decrement/ increment-expr) statement

• init-expr, if it exists, is executed. Typically this initializes one or more counters, and may also declare them as well.
• test-expr is evaluated. If it evaluates to True or is missing then loop body is executed. Otherwise the for loop exits.
• increment-expr is executed if it exists. Typically this increments/decrements one or more counters.  

NOTE: If you have single statement to be executed after for-loop then use of Curly Brackets, {}, is optional. In order to execute group of statements after for-loop the statements should be enclosed in curly brackets.
