For loop overriding outer variables instead of creating new ones
Solution 1:
This is not the same. In C, you explicitly create a new variable, whereas in Python, you reuse the name in the for
scope, ending up overriding the previous value.
So the C equivalent really is:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
int x = 15;
for (x = 0; x < 10; ++x)
{
continue;
}
--x; // To accommodate the different behavior of the range loop
printf("%d", x);
return 0;
}
Don't forget that in Python, variables are just entries in a dictionary, dynamically created, whereas in C, they are independent, static items.
