C# Question on For Loops

Question

I have a hard time understanding for loops. Can someone explain them to me?

Nilesh Shah · Answer

Let me try. Loops are used in programming to execute a piece of code no. of times. In program execution, same line(s) of code gets "looped thru" multiple times without the need of those lines to be re-written, hence the name "loop". There are 3 different types of loops in C# - for, while, do-while, as you asked "for", I will concentrate on C# for loop only. for ( int counter = 0; counter { //do something here } The for loop has this things: loop counter initialization loop counter condition evaluation loop counter increment/decrement for loop works on finite no. of steps, so when you have a fixed no. of rotations to be performed, use for loop.

whenever we want to execute a single statement or block of statements multiple times we will go for loops in the above program we have written writeLine statement for 5 times,by using loops we can write it as a single statement. Benficts of loops: we can reduce no.of lines of code.
