for (int i=0; i < string.length() || i < 5 ; i++) {
// some code
}
Is it possible to evaluate the middle part based on whichever expression is smaller?

So you want to change the or to an and?TZHX– TZHX2017-10-24 06:00:08 +00:00Commented Oct 24, 2017 at 6:00

You can phrase your loop as this:
for (int i=0; i < Math.min(string.length(), 5); i++) {
// some code
}
Here we are taking the smaller of 5 or the string length as the upper bound of the loop, and the code is clear to someone else who might have to read it.

If you want the loop to terminate when i reaches the smaller of the two expressions, use AND:
for(int i=0; i < string.length() && i < 5 ;i++)
