Iteration

Loop

Loop

A programming construct that allows a set of statements to be repeated multiple times as long as a certain condition is true.

While Loop

A type of loop that continues to cycle through as long as a specified condition is true.

Infinite Loop

A loop that continues indefinitely because the condition to exit the loop is never met.

For Loop

A type of loop that allows for more structured looping by specifying an initialization, condition, and incrementation of a variable.

Initializer

The first step in a for loop where a variable is initialized to a certain value.

Condition

The second step in a for loop where a condition is checked to determine if the loop should continue executing.

Statements

The third step in a for loop where a set of statements is executed as long as the condition is true.

Incrementer

The fourth step in a for loop where the value of the variable is incremented or changed.

Code for a for loop

for(/*initializer*/; /*condition*/; /*incrementor*/)
{
	/*statements*/
}

//Note that all comments above would be filled with code acting as the specified task. 

Code for a while loop

while(/*condition*/)
{
	/*statements*/
}

//Note that all comments above would be filled with code acting as the specified task. 

Where in a for-loop would code such as "i++” go?

Incrementor

Where in a for-loop would code such as "int i = 0” go?

Initializer

Where in a for-loop would code such as "i < 10” go?

Condition

Where in a while-loop would code such as "i < 10” go?

Condition

Where in a while-loop would code such as "i++” go?
