this is what i did but i'am not sure if this is right
int e = 1;
int m = 500;
for ( e = 1; m = 500; e < 4; m >= 300; e++; m-100;)

If you already have e and m declared you don't need to re-declare them in your loop. Also does the value of m actually change with your loop? You should have to use -= since m - 100 doesn't actually change the value of m unless it's part of m = m - 100;CalebB– CalebB2015-04-15 00:59:03 +00:00Commented Apr 15, 2015 at 0:59

What you are trying to do is possible, but you have a few pieces wrong.
You can execute multiple statements in each "area" of the for-loop structure, but you need to separate them differently. A valid loop would look like this:
for ( e = 1, m = 500; e < 4 && m >= 300; e++, m -= 100)
{
}
Notice that in the first and third blocks, you use commas to separate the initialization and increment/decrement statements. The second block has to be a single conditional, so I used && to AND them together.
I also fixed your "m" decrement statement so that it actually modified m. The subtraction operator is non-destructive, so wouldn't actually modify anything n your original code.

The first part of the for is the initialization section. (The part before the first ;. So to initialize a, b, c, you can do this:
char a;
int b;
string c;
for (a = 'z', b = 28, c = "aardvark"; etc.)
Currently you are trying to initialize m after the first ;, which won't work.

@BradleyDotNet, you are right. I just focused on the initialization part of the question. You're answer also helps with the other parts of the for loop.
