Counting Down

Recall the general form of a for:

for ( initialize ; test ; change )
  loopBody ;

The change can be any statement. It can, for example, decrease the control variable, as in this example:

---

    for ( count = 10; count >= 0; --count  )  
    {
      System.out.println( "count is: " + count ); 
    }
    System.out.println( "\nDone with the loop.\nCount is now" + count);
