java - For loop time complexity up to different "i" control value

Which is the time complexity of the for loop, when the control parameter inside the loop has an increasement by +2?

for(int i = 0 ; i < n ; i = i + 2){
 //something
}

I understand that a simple for loop time complexity is N * (operations inside the loop). For example this one

for(int i = 0 ; i < n ; i++){
     //something
    }

Also it can be written as MathSum (from i = start TO (end - start + 1)); in this case MathSum(i = 0 to n-1+1) * (something)

I guess the answear is also O(n).

for(int i = 0 ; i < n ; i = i + 2){ } Yes, The time complexity of the above for loop is also O(n) because it iterates n/2 times. So the complexity will be O(n/2), in Complexity analysis, we remove the constant. So it will be O(n).

In complexity analysis, we don't calculate the exact time.
