Looping statements in java
Sometimes there is a need to execute a block of statements several times depending on any
condition. This type of situation is handled by Loops in java.
Java allows these loops mechanisms with three types of loops:
for Loop
while Loop
do...while Loop
The for Loop
A for loop is a control structure which executes the statements within this IF block several
times depending on conditions.
A for loop is beneficial when we already know for how many times to repeat a particular
task.
Syntax:
for (initialization ; Boolean_expression ; update)
{
//body for the loop
}
Sequence of steps followed in a for loop:
First of all initialization statement is executed. This statement allows declaring
or initializing loop control variables.
Now the Boolean expression or test condition is evaluated. If this Boolean
expression comes to true, the defined body of the
for loop
is executed. Otherwise
