@BillyONeal, @JaimePardos is probably correct that the interviewer just wanted to see your thought process on tackling this problem. IMHO, I like the for for the simple reason that it's easier to read and you don't have to worry about setting the start and end index for each loop.

However, it still applies if you don't want to process every item in the list, or need to do so in specific order (i.e. traverse a list backwards) | |

But if you limit the for loop to that only, then there's little reason for it to exist at all -- foreach handles that. (i.e. foreach(var idx = Enumerable.Range(0, maxI)) { ... }) (That syntax isn't 100% correct but it gets the idea)
