Java Looping Statements

Iteration statements like while, do-while and for are used to repeatedly execute a block of code as long as/until a condition is met. The while statement checks the condition before executing the block, whereas do-while checks after executing the block once. The for statement is similar to while but allows initialization of and incrementing/decrementing loop counters to control the number of iterations.

Looping Statement

Iteration Statements are used to execute a block of statements


repeatedly as long as a certain condition is true.
While Statement
The while loop is a statement or block of statements that is repeated as long as
some condition is satisfied

Syntax
while (boolean_expression) {
statement1;
statement 2;
…..}

The statements in while loop are executed as long as the boolean expression is true
Illustration of a while statement
do-while Statement
It is similar to while loop except that the do-while execute the block once, and
then checks the while condition.
Real Time Example : ATM Machine
Illustration of a do while statement
For Statement
For statement is similar to while loop is used to repeat the execution
of the code till a condition is met.

Syntax:
for(initialization; loopCondition; iteration) {
statements;
}
The initialization allows to declare and/or initialize loop variables, and is executed
only once.
The loopCondition compares the loop variable to some limit value. If the loop
condition is not met it is broken.
The iteration usually increments or decrements the values of the loop variables
