which loop is better

["Mandeep Singh Sandhu" <mandeep_sandhu@infosys.com>]

Hi all,
a small doubt on a loop. If i have to use a loop
which one is preffered/better - a "for" or a "while"
loop???

i had written small prog (2 files)

file 1 had

main()
{
	int i=10;
	for(;i--;);
}

file 2 had

main()
{
	int i=10;
	while(i--);
}

both of them produced the SAME assembly code.
so is there really ne reason why i shud pick one over the other???
