Question 6
Correct

Mark 6.00 out of 6.00

For and While Loops are an efficient way to repeat lines of code. for  loops are especially useful if the number of iterations
is known beforehand or when iterating over an array. while  loops are often used if the number of iterations is initially not
known, e.g., if code should be iterated until a given condition is met.

In most cases, for  loops should be preferred over while  loops, as while  loops bear a
risk of creating infinite loops  .
