 Yes, repeatedly. You've described it as a source of errors and confusion.

Yes it is. That doesn't means I'm incapable of writing such loops. But I prefer to use a syntax which involves less typing, has less opportunity for typos, and which anyone can instantly grok.

 

So your attitude is to totally ignore such criticism? C is perfect? [...]

 No, I said nothing to suggest that. It is a less than perfect language,
but the amount of trouble you have with it is far more than it's
imperfections justify.

And yet, you are unwilling to accept my criticisms of it, to the extent that you'd rather accuse me of being unable to program rather than admit I might be at least partly right.
