why is this loop working infinitely?
<pre><code>class kk{
    public static void main(String args[]){
        int n=0;
        for (byte i = 0; i&lt;=255; i++) 
        { 
             n++;
        }
        System.out.println(n);
    }
}
</code></pre>

<p>The above for loop goes on infinitely  . I would appreciate it if somebody could answer why ?</p>
