I think it's a bit easier to understand than using a for loop with two variables inside. Just my opinion though! Hope it helps!

Your right, multiple variables and conditions in a for loop do tend to get complicated looking quite quickly, and neither approach has any additional overhead, so a simple if check followed by a while would be much easier to read than a single for loop.
