Bad for loop - What happens?

[runtimeavl]

Hello All,

What happens when I have an integer variable and use it in a for loop that requires a long integer variable?

What would happen to the "t" variable in the code below? it will increment to 255 (since t is declared as integer) and then what? would it be reset to zero, if so, the loop will never exit right?

If you increment an unsigned 8-bit value past 255 you will end up at zero. For signed values you will hit -128 once you increment past 127.

It will loop forever because t <= 1200 will always be true.
