Pset1 Mario incorrect output inside for loop

Question

I try to create a simple output for definite height of the stairs and I create following code

int spaces = 7;
int sharps = 2;

printf("%i\n", spaces);  // debug
printf("%i\n", sharps);  // debug

for (; spaces <= 0; spaces--)
{
    printf("%i\n", spaces); // debug
}

But when I run this code I just get

7
2

in the output without output from for loop. What I do wrong?

Answer 1

spaces starts with the value 7, so the condition spaces <= 0 never evaluates to true and your for loop never executes. I think you meant spaces >= 0.
