Loop Statements
- A loop is a programming construct that allows a program to execute statements repeatedly (multiple times).
- Loops control how many times an operation or a sequence of operations is performed in succession.
- Loop elements consist of:
- Counter initialization: a value used to count how many times the loop body will execute.
- Loop-repetition condition: a condition that decides when to repeat the loop and when to exit.
- Loop body: the statements to be repeated.
- Counter step: an increment or decrement of the counter with a specific value that eventually makes the loop condition false.
- Loop elements typically appear in the following format:
- Counter initialization:
int i = initialValue; - Loop-repetition condition:
i
- Counter initialization:
