Sounds like a homework problem.
Here's a hint: if you want your loop to go backwards, adding to
(incrementing) the counter isn't going to work.
Here's another hint: if you want fractional values, using integers isn't
going to work.
One final hint: in a "for()" statement, the three parts have very broad
rules for usage. The first part is executed once, before the loop begins,
and may contain variable declarations; the second part must simply be some
sort of logical expression that evaluates to a boolean...it can be _any_
expression that meets that requirement; and finally, the third part can be
any statement or statements (separated by commas)...there 's nothing that
says it can only be a variable combined with a post-increment operator.
With that information, I think you should be able to rewrite your loop so
that it meets your need.

I can't seem to get the for (int i = 80; i <= 50; i++) loop working out
properly. Any advice would be great. Thank you.
