Why is this extremely simple code not working?

Question

I have a problem with a for loop, and Serial.print("Its Working") does not appear. Seems simple, I've done it before, now for whatever reason, its not working anymore

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

  for (int x = 0; x > 10; x++) {

    Serial.println("Its Working");
    delay(1000);
  }
}

Answer 1

The problem is:

for (int x = 0; x > 10; x++) {

That can be rewritten, in pseudo code, as:

• X is zero
• While X is greater than 10:
  • Increment X

You see the problem? X is zero. It's not greater than 10, so it never increments.

I assume you actually wanted:

for (int x = 0; x < 10; x++) {

Also be aware that your for loop will be run over and over again, so you will never see it finish. You should add

Serial.println("Loop done");

at the end so you know it's finished.
