For loop

Question

Can someone please explain this 'for loop' statement and how and when to use it? I don't understand it. I get the while loop statement, but the for loop now is an issue for me.

Answer 1

Ella
let x = 0
while (x < [ a known number ] here we are going to say 18) {
Do something...
x += 1;
}

for (int x = 0: x < 18; x++) {
Do something...
}

These two literally are performing the same ...

But typically you use the for loop when you know how many times you want to repeat the code or need a concise loop for simple iterations.
