Lasson 04 | Loops and errors

Types of Loops

Loops can be written as while loops, do-while loops, and for loops.

while Loops

while loops iterate until a condition is met.

int a = 0; while (a < 10) { a++; } 

do-while Loops

do-while loops are while loops that initially execute the body once before checking the condition.

do { printf("not true!"); } (while 2 == 3); 

for Loops

for loops complete a set number of iterations before meeting a condition.

for (int i = 0; i <= 10; i++) { printf("Hello!"); } 

Loop Keywords

All loops can utilize keywords like continue and break. continue restarts the loop and break breaks out of (or ends) the loop.

Rewriting Loops

A for loop can always be re-written as a while loop; most while loops can be re-written as a for loop.
