Unit_6_Part_2_While and do-While loops

do Statement

A statement that executes a block of code once and then repeats based on a condition.

do loop

A loop that ensures the body is executed at least once before the condition is checked.

for loop

A loop that consists of initialization, condition evaluation, and increment; executes a block of code multiple times.

syntax of a do statement

do { statement-list; } while (condition); The statement-list is executed once, then repeats until the condition is false.

conditional statement

A programming statement that executes based on a specified boolean condition.

initialization in a for loop

The part of a for loop where variables are initialized before execution.

increment in a for loop

The operation that updates the looping variable after each iteration.

infinite loop

A loop that never terminates because the condition for exiting is never met.

for-each loop

A loop designed to iterate over elements in a collection without explicitly managing the iterator.

while loop vs do loop

A while loop checks the condition before executing the body, while a do loop executes the body once before checking the condition.
