Java For Loop

In Java, the for loop is used to iterate over a range of values or elements. Here's a concise overview:

Syntax:

for (initialization; condition; update) {
    // Code to execute in each iteration
}

Initialization:

• Initializes the loop control variable.
• Executed only once before the loop starts.

Condition:

• Checked before each iteration. If false, the loop terminates.

Update:

• Modifies the loop control variable after each iteration.
• Typically increments or decrements the variable.

For Loop Example:

• Iterates over a range of values.
• Example:

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
    System.out.println("Iteration " + (i + 1));
}

 

Summary

The for loop is a powerful construct for iterating over sequences of values or elements in Java. Understanding how to use for loops is fundamental for implementing repetitive tasks efficiently in Java programs.
