There are rather objective criteria for what does and does not constitute 
good code style, even more so what constitutes an efficient algorithm and 
implementation thereof.  I find it hard to believe that in a C-style “for” 
statement an empty initialization part, and an unchecked array element 
access in the conditional part to iterate over an array would be considered 
good code style by anyone knowledgable.

Yes, that only seems to be so.  However, what does it tell you that this 
beginner calls your code “great” despite its obvious deficiencies and your 
*provably* actually not knowing what you are doing?  Could it not perhaps be 
that lack of the ability of proper judgement of work in a field is inherent 
to being new in a field?  Could it not perhaps be that bad code, bad 
examples, are not yet recognized as such without a hint; that they would 
otherwise be more likely to be not questioned, to be used verbatim from then 
on (due to lack of an alternative)?

BTDT.  Do your own homework.

BTW: Address munging violates RFC 5536 and Netiquette.  Score adjusted.
