JAVA #08 – Introduction of Loops in Java

 

Loop: In computer programming, a loop is a sequence of instruction s that is continually repeated until a certain condition is reached.

Java programming language provides the following types of loop to handle looping requirements. Click the following links to check their detail.

Loop Type	Description
while loop	Repeats a statement or group of statements while a given condition is true. It tests the condition before executing the loop body.
for loop	Execute a sequence of statements multiple times and abbreviates the code that manages the loop variable.
do-while loop	Like a while statement, except that it tests the condition at the end of the loop body

 

How can we justify which loop is best for over programs.

For loop: use when the specific end point is available.

While loop: use when the specific end point is not available.

Do-while loop: use when the specific end point is not available. But loop must run at once whether condition is true or false.
