A question on "for" loop

[Johnny19931993]

I'm new to java and I've encountered a problem when I was using the for loop
Apparently I can't assign a variable to it as the initial value
like this

Java:

int a = 100; for (int i = a; i == 101; i++) { Statement; }

For example, if the statement was to output some string, it doesn't do it
can someone help me?
(I am using dr.java)

This for loop will only execute while i == 101. So it will check, does i = 101? No? Okay, skip this part!

Try for (int i = a; i <= 101; i++)

That's not the problem, as insectoid said, it is checking the condition in which to continue.
