Earlier quoted context omitted.
1st) you use ++def in a loop, don't be weird; 2nd) if 'abc' is to be used in the loop body, define in the loop, e.g. for (int def = 7, abc =3; ...); 3rd) this is an IntelliJ bug - both 'def' and 'abc' in the sample are always defined.
> you use ++def in a loop, don't be weird I come from a C++ background where it is always advised to use ++i instead of i++. It's just a habit. Does it stress you to read ++i over i++?
Of course not, I do use both. Admittedly i++ is a lot more common in Java, and for loops i++ is the standard idiom. Not using the standard idiom usually implies less practice, e.g. str.indexOf('x')
for (int i = array.length; i-- > 0;) doStuff(array[i]);
