The for Statement
The for Statement
The general form of the for statement can be expressed as follows:
for (initialization; termination; increment) {
statement(s)
}class Demo {
public static void main(String[] args){
for(int i=1; i<11; i++){
System.out.println("Count is: " + i);
}
}
}Also has another form designed for iteration through Collections and arrays:
class Demo {
public static void main(String[] args){
int[] numbers =
{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10};
for (int item : numbers) {
System.out.println("Count is: " + item);
}
}
}
- Provides a compact way to iterate over a range of values.
- Programmers often refer to it as the "for loop" because of the way in which it repeatedly loops until a particular condition is satisfied.
- When using this version of the for statement, keep in mind that: The initialization expression initializes the loop; it's executed once, as the loop begins. When the termination expression evaluates to false, the loop terminates. The increment expression is invoked after each iteration through the loop; it is perfectly acceptable for this expression to increment or decrement a value.
