Transforming for-loop.. i have tried to figure out this so much.

I had this Java exam last week and I didn´t know the answer to this question and it has bothered me since. So if someone could tell me what was the right answer so I can have peaceful mind.

So the question was:

Transform the following code into an equivalent do and do-while-loop. (sorry about my English)

int f=0; 
for(int i=N-1; i >=0; i--) 
if( a[i] > a[f]) 
f = i;

PS. I pass the test but this is driving me crazy.

here's a hint, think of the condition part in the FOR loop (i >= 0) as a while condition.

Is this right answer:


while:

int f = 0;
int i = N - 1;
while (i >= 0)
{
if (a[i] > a[f])
f = i;
i--;
}



do-while:

int f = 0;
int i = N - 1;

if (i >= 0)
do {
if (a[i] > a[f])
f = i;
i--;
} while (i >= 0);
