Aside from missing the assignment of A=10 in the basic listing you're 
taking a bit of poetic licence in describing that as 8 lines of C code; 
you've also included the C program overhead to compare against a BASIC 
code snippet... plus (IIUC) technically they generate different output 
so... apples and oranges.

FTR I'd call that 2 lines of C myself...

for (int a=10; a<20; a++)
   printf ("value of a: %d\n", a);
