[Gerry Kan]

Howdy Folks:

I have a block of code in a do loop that is abbreviated as follows:

integer :: k0, k1, k, kN

k0 = 0
kN = 100
k1 = k0 + 1

do k = k1,kN
   ! do something
end do

Some guy tells me that the do loop has to be done like this:

do k = k0+1,kN

Is there any hidden reason that makes the second approach superior? Also, wouldn't k0+1 run a risk of being needlessly evaluated in every iteration of the do loop?

Your comments would be quite welcomed.

Gerry.
