Yes, you got the for statements the wrong way around. for statements work
like this:

for (initialisation;test;action) do_something;

means

initialisation;
while (test) {
 do_something;
 action;
}

where initialisation, test, action and do_something are
expressions/statements. Normally you write:

for (x=0;x<10;x++) printf("x=%d\n",x);

You had the test and action the wrong way around.
