## In POSIX sh, arithmetic for loops are undefined.
|
||||
|
||||
### Problematic code:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
for ((i=0; i<10; i++))
|
||||
do
|
||||
echo "$i"
|
||||
done
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Correct code:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
i=0
|
||||
while [ "$i" -lt 10 ]
|
||||
do
|
||||
echo "$i"
|
||||
: $(( i += 1 ))
|
||||
done
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Rationale:
|
||||
|
||||
C-style arithmetic for loops are a Ksh/Bash feature that's not supported by POSIX sh or dash. Use a `while` loop with separate initialization and incrementing instead.
|
||||
|
||||
### Exceptions:
|
||||
|
||||
None
