Question

//code contains out of scope syntax

What is the output of this code?
int i=0;
int x=10;
for (;i <x;i++,x--);
cout <<x+i;

can anyone please explain in detail what is wrong in it ?

Answer 1

This is probably due to the confusing statements in for loop syntax. The alternative which i suggest:

while (i < x)
{
i++;
x--;
}

cout << i+x;

Answer 2

Answer 8

/*
for (;i <x;i++,x--);

don't terminate the for loop with semicolon(;)
*/
int i=0;
int x=10;
for (;i<x;i++,x--)
cout <<x+i;

Answer 9

There is an error, you had put semicolon in the begging of the for statement, and you have a semicolon at the end of the for statement, after the bracket.
