There may be a situation when you need to execute a block of code several number of times. In general, statements are executed sequentially: The first statement in a function is executed first, followed by the second, and so on.
Programming languages provide various control structures that allow for more complicated execution paths.
A loop statement allows us to execute a statement or group of statements multiple times and following is the general form of a loop statement in most of the programming languages:
Java programming language provides the following types of loop to handle looping requirements. Click the following links to check their detail.
Loop Type | Description |
---|---|
Repeats a statement or group of statements while a given condition is true. It tests the condition before executing the loop body. | |
Execute a sequence of statements multiple times and abbreviates the code that manages the loop variable. | |
Like a while statement, except that it tests the condition at the end of the loop body |
Loop Control Statements:
Loop control statements change execution from its normal sequence. When execution leaves a scope, all automatic objects that were created in that scope are destroyed.
Java supports the following control statements. Click the following links to check their detail.
Control Statement | Description |
---|---|
Terminates the loop or switch statement and transfers execution to the statement immediately following the loop or switch. | |
Causes the loop to skip the remainder of its body and immediately retest its condition prior to reiterating. |
