The most important advantage of 'for' in C is that the initialization =

and step sequences are clearly visible.
With the 'while', the initialization sequence is not obviously linked to =

the block itself, being easier to overlook or forget to copy/move =

together, and the step sequence is not separated from the "worker" =

statements.
