Code With Design

The basis of for and while loops in Java are similar to most programming languages. First the loops type is called, parameters are applied, a block of statements are executed based on the parameters then finally the loop is closed off.

For Loop

The basis of the for loops is as follows:

1
2
3
4

for(Set of Parameters)
{ //opening the block
Block of statements to be executed.
} //closing the block

An example of the for loop will look something like this:

1
2
3

for (int a = 0; a <= 5; a++) {
System.out.println("integer a = " + a )
}

While Loop

Now we are going to show the basic outline of the while loop.

1
2
3
4

while(True or False statement, Boolean value)
{
Statement to be executed.
}

Do While

It is also possible to switch the statements around to create a do-while statement. This statement follows the while statements format except it switches around the while parameters and the block statements. It looks something like this:

1
2
3

do {
These statements while
} while (this Boolean value is true or false.)

These loops are quite simple to execute and easy to work with. The block statements can be replaced with other loops that are nested.
