I need an explanation for Javascript (For loop)

Question

k=6;
for(var i = 0; i<k; i++) {
k+=0.5;
} alert (i); // the answer is 12.

i cant seem to understand why, with the "0.5" added to the loop.
Please i need someone to explain it succintly for me.

Answer 1

If you begin with zero, how many times do you have to repeat adding 0.5 until you get to 6?

Answer 2

The for-loop has to be executed first? before what?

Answer 3

This might add to your understanding of a for/loop.

Answer 4

12 times...
I figured that out but felt its an oddity, Since the "for loop" has to be executed first because before the code block.

Answer 5

I meant the statements in the () will be executed first before the statement in {}...

Thanks for your response. I gained more insight in the for loop.
