If the for-loop does not have braces, it will execute the next statement. The syntax is essentially

for (;;) ;

The "statement" part can be anything. It could be a simple count++; or it could be an 'if'/'if-else' statement, it could even be another for-loop without the braces!

So in this case, the code is similar to:

for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
    count++;
}
printf("The value of count is: %d\n", count);
