→The C# ''for'' Loop
System.Console.WriteLine ("j = " + j);
</pre>
== C# Loop Variable Scope ==
A key point to note in creating loops is that any variables defined within the body of a loop is only visible to code within the loop. This is concept known as ''scope''. If, for example, a variable ''myCounter'' is defined in a for loop, that variable ceases to exist once the loop terminates:
<pre>
// variable myCounter does not yet exist
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
int myCounter = 0; //myCounter variable created in scope of for loop
myCounter += i;
}
// after loop exit variable myCounter is now out of scope and ceases to exist
</pre>
