Not quite the same - that check happens once, instead of each iteration

if (i< MAX_VALUE_FOR_I) { loop-by-i; } looks slippery. Did you by chance mean if (len< MAX_VALUE_FOR_I)?

@gnat Even if so, the correct equivalent wouldn't prevent the loop from running, the OP's code limits the maximum iterations. To get the same effect: len = min(len, MAX_VALUE_FOR_I)
