What is difference between "for loop" and "while loop" in C++?

how would you write a code which alters a number from binary system to decimal notation system using a while loop? for ex: input: write a number in binary sytem : 100 Output: 100 in binary system equals to 4 in decimal notation system

FOR loop is just a simplified version of the WHILE loop. WHILE LOOP: int i = 0; while(i < 4){ // some code ++i; } FOR LOOP: for(int i = 0; i < 4; ++i) { // some code } ^As you can see, the FOR loop is a simplified version of the WHILE loop. It combines the counter variable, loop condition, and increment all in the same spot instead of all over the place. When there is a means of "knowing" the amount of iterations, then use a FOR loop. If there is no telling when it will end, use a while loop.
