Is there a technical reason to use > (<) instead of != when incrementing by 1 in a 'for' loop?

Question

I almost never see a for loop like this:

for (int i = 0; 5 != i; ++i)
{}

Is there a technical reason to use >

Answer 1

It may happen that the variable i is set to some large value and if you just use the != operator you will end up in an endless loop.
