In-Depth Information
There are a few points to note in this example. Array indices start their numbering at zero,
so make sure that the value in the
for
loop also starts at zero. We want the loop to continue
until it reaches the length of the array; this can be set as the variable
max
in the initializ-
ation part of the
for
loop, then the condition becomes
i < max
. This is preferable to
using
i < pizzas.length
because then the length of the pizzas array would have to
be calculated after every pass through the loop. This might not sound all that important, but
it can make a big difference to the speed of the program when using large arrays.
