Java Iterations and Debugging

Flashcards based on lecture topics about iterations and debugging in Java.

Iteration

A single repetition of a loop.

While Loop

A pretest loop that tests its Boolean expression before each iteration.

Do-While Loop

A posttest loop that guarantees at least one iteration before testing its Boolean expression.

For Loop

A pretest loop that includes built-in expressions for initializing, testing, and updating, ideal for known iterations.

Break Statement

A command that stops the loop and jumps to the statement immediately following the loop.

Continue Statement

A command that skips the current iteration and continues with the next iteration of the loop.

Debugging

The process of identifying and fixing errors or bugs in the code.

Counter Variable

A variable used to count iterations, typically found in for loops.

Sentinel Value

A special value that signals the end of a loop.

UML Diagram

A type of diagram that represents the structure of a system, used in software design.
