Common Mistakes To Avoid

❌ Common pitfalls

The following common mistakes should be avoided:

• Forgetting to update the value of the loop control variable in a while loop and ending up with an infinite loop

• Getting the start and end conditions wrong in case of a for loop

• Forgetting to initialize the loop-control variable used in a loop

• Jumping out of a loop too early by using one or more return statements inside of the loop (when not needed)

• Exceeding the length while traversing a string

• Using i++ instead of i-- during a decrementing approach
