First: what happens in your example if array.length=2^n-1, where n is
the number of bits used to represent i?

How would you increment ++i then?

Second:

for (int i = 0; i <= array.length-1; i++) {}

 array[0..array.length-1]


I should note that from mathematical point of view, "<" is not a
relation of order, as it lacks reflexivity (meaning a<b and b>a does
not imply a==b).

Only <= and >= are relations of order, as they are also reflexive (as
a<=b and b<=a implies a==b).
