Probably the easiest way is to put a print statement inside the loop, and execute it: for (int i=8; i<12; i++) { System.out.println( "i = " + i ); } The question isn't very clear. Do you want to know how many times the condition will be evaluated? Or how many times the code in the body of the loop will be executed? -- Wendy Back to top abskiz Guest Posted: Sat Dec 13, 2003 3:18 am    Post subject: Re: newbie help loop how many times the code in the body of the loop will executes "Wendy S" <wendywds (AT) hotmail (DOT) com> wrote Quote: "abskiz" <someone (AT) microsoft (DOT) com> wrote in message news:KtoCb.14339$aF2.1601848 (AT) news20 (DOT) bellglobal.com... how do u find out how many times a loop executes? for (int i=8; i<12; i++); that will execute 12-8+1 tiems right?

No, the above example will only iterate 12-8 times. If you want it to iterate 12-8+1 times, you need to be inclusive of the end range, such as: for (int i=8;i<=12;i++); HTH!

Do you want to know how many times the condition will be evaluated? Or how many times the code in the body of the loop will be executed? how many times the code in the body of the loop will executes So just place a 'print' statement in the loop body, as Wendy illustrated, or use a counter variable: int loopCount = 0; for (...) { ... ++loopCount; ... } System.out.println("Loop executed " + loopCount + " times"); I hope this helps.
