Can someone please explain this code line to me in a super simple way, and reasons to use it? I'm just starting the code journey

for (int i = 1; i <= maxNumber; ++i) { System.out.print(previousNumber+" ");

A For loop is one of the most fundamental concepts in programming. You use it for iterations. That line of code is telling the computer to set a integer variable name i to 1 and while i is lesser or equal to another variable called maxNumber, that should be defined before, it's going to print the variable previousNumber plus space. The ++1 tells the computer to increment the variable i by 1 after each iteration, in this case, i is equal to 2 now. Then the system checks if the condition (i <= maxNumber) is met. It's not, so it repeats the process until the condition is met.

Thank you man, makes it a bit more clear now. This is a lot of stuff to learn. Overwhelming at times on where to start and what direction to go with things.

The area certainly demand us to be life long learners, but it's certainly worth it. My advice for your is: divide and conquer. Best of luck in your journey.
