Questions and Answers

What is the main difference between a for loop and a while loop in terms of the loop variable?

The loop variable is part of the loop syntax in for loops but declared externally in while loops (correct)
The loop variable is optional in for loops
The loop variable can only be used in for loops
The loop variable has a different scope in for loops and while loops

What is the purpose of the condition in a while loop?

To display the odd numbers
To increment the loop variable
To evaluate whether the loop should continue or terminate (correct)
To initialize the loop variable

What happens when the condition in a while loop is false?

The loop variable is initialized
The body of the loop is executed
The loop terminates (correct)
The loop variable is incremented

Study Notes

For Loops vs While Loops

In a for loop, the loop variable is part of the loop itself
In a while loop, the loop variable must be declared externally

Declaring a Variable in a While Loop

A variable (e.g., i) must be declared and initialized before the while loop
The scope of the variable is different from the scope of a for loop variable with the same name

Converting a For Loop to a While Loop

Initialize the loop variable (e.g., i = 0)
Add a while statement with a condition (e.g., i <= 5)
Add the statements to be repeated (e.g., displaying odd numbers)
Increment the loop variable at the end of the while block

How a While Loop Works

The condition is evaluated at the beginning of each iteration
If the condition is true, the body of the while loop is executed
The condition is evaluated again at the next iteration
If the condition is false, the while loop terminates
