 * `initialization` - Initializes the loop and is executed just once, at the beginning.
 
-You can initialize more than one variable of the same type in the first part of the basic `for` loop declaration; each initialization must be separated by a comma.
+You can initialize more than one variable of the same type in the first part of the basic `for` loop declaration; each initialization must be separated by a comma. Remember that the variable(s) declared as the `initialization` will only be used within that `for` loop and nowhere else outside of the loop.
 
 * `expression` - Evaluated at the beginning of each iteration. If the `expression` evaluates to `true`, `Statements` will get executed.
 * `increment` - Invoked after each iteration through the loop. You can increase/decrease the value of variables here. Be sure the increment is working towards the expression value, to avoid an infinite loop.
