vb.net and c# issue in for loop

[Benjamin Fallar III]

hi,

i have some weird result using for loop...

here it is in vb.net.........

Module Module1

Sub Main()

For i As Integer = 1 To 3
Dim total As Integer
total += i
Console.WriteLine(total)
Next

End Sub

End Module

here it is in c#

namespace ConsoleApplication2
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
for (int i = 1; i <= 3; i++)
{
int total = 0;
total += i;
Console.WriteLine(total);
}
}
}

the results are different...

i think because in c#, we cannot use the variable total if uninitialized...
how to go about this?

In both cases, your accumulator should be declared and initialized once
*before the loop begins*. In the C# example it is reinitialized to zero on
each iteration.

In VB the DIM statement is scoped to the entire method. It is the
same as if you said:

Sub Main()
Dim total As Integer

For i As Integer = 1 To 3
total += i
Console.WriteLine(total)
Next

End Sub

In VB it is not possible to have block-scoped variables.

In the C# example, 'total' exists only inside the for loop. The
variable 'total' is reinitialized each time through the loop. If you
want the C# code to work like the VB code, move the definition of
'total' outside the for loop.
