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
