Java for loop performance question

Question

considering this example:

public static void main(final String[] args) {
    final List myList = Arrays.asList(\"A\", \"B\", \"C\", \"D\");
            


        

Answer 1

Java compiler would have optimized it so, but didn't do so by seeing the funny condition. If you wrote it like this there would be no issue.

for (int i = myList.size(); i < 1000000; i--) {
    System.out.println("Hello");
}
