C++ For Loop

C++ For Loop


When you know exactly how many times you want to loop through a block of
code, use the for loop instead of a while loop:

Syntax
for (statement 1; statement 2; statement 3) {

// code block to be executed

Statement 1 is executed (one time) before the execution of the code block.

Statement 2 defines the condition for executing the code block.

Statement 3 is executed (every time) after the code block has been
executed.

The example below will print the numbers 0 to 4:

Example

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {

cout << i << "\n";

}
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)

{
cout << i << "\n";
}
return 0;
}
Example explained
Statement 1 sets a variable before the loop starts (int i = 0).

Statement 2 defines the condition for the loop to run (i must be less than 5).
If the condition is true, the loop will start over again, if it is false, the loop
will end.

Statement 3 increases a value (i++) each time the code block in the loop has
been executed.

Another Example
This example will only print even values between 0 and 10:

Example

for (int i = 0; i <= 10; i = i + 2) {

cout << i << "\n";

C++ While Loop


C++ Loops
Loops can execute a block of code as long as a specified condition is reached.

Loops are handy because they save time, reduce errors, and they make code
more readable.

C++ While Loop


The while loop loops through a block of code as long as a specified condition
is true:
Syntax
while (condition) {

// code block to be executed

In the example below, the code in the loop will run, over and over again, as
long as a variable (i) is less than 5:

Example

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
​
int main() {
int i = 0;
while (i < 5) {
cout << i << "\n";
i++;
}
return 0;
}

C++ Do/While Loop


The Do/While Loop
The do/while loop is a variant of the while loop. This loop will execute the
code block once, before checking if the condition is true, then it will repeat
the loop as long as the condition is true.

Syntax
do {

// code block to be executed


}

while (condition);

The example below uses a do/while loop. The loop will always be executed
at least once, even if the condition is false, because the code block is
executed before the condition is tested:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
​
int main() {
int i = 0;
do {
cout << i << "\n";
i++;
}
while (i < 5);
return 0;
}
