While Loops are more productive than For Loops
This code insight searches all the artifacts having for loops which can be simplified to a while loop.
For loops that do not have Init nor Update part :
for ( ;cond; )
Remedy –
Try to reduce the number of the artifacts having for loops which can be
simplified to a while loop.
Why you should care
For performance reasons, while loops are prefered to for loops.
