Control Structures

Looping structures repeat a block of code while a condition is true or for a specified number of iterations.

2.3.1 for Loop

Executes a block of code a fixed number of times, typically with a counter.

Syntax:

for (initialization; condition; update) {

    // Code to repeat

}

Example:

public class ForLoopExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {

            System.out.println("Count: " + i);

        }

        // Output:

        // Count: 1

        // Count: 2

        // Count: 3

        // Count: 4

        // Count: 5

    }

}

Notes:

Initialization (e.g., int i = 1) runs once before the loop.

Condition (e.g., i <= 5) is checked before each iteration.

Update (e.g., i++) runs after each iteration.
