Loops:

- What is loop?
A loop is a fundamental control flow construct in programming that allows
you
to repeatedly execute a block of code while a certain condition is true.
Loops are used to perform repetitive tasks efficiently.

- Why loops?
Loops are essential in programming because they allow you to automate
repetitive tasks, iterate through data structures, and perform operations a
specific number of times. They help in writing cleaner and more concise
code.

- Types of loops?
There are three common types of loops in both C and C++:
1. For Loop:
Executes a block of code a specified number of times.
Similar in both languages:
for (initialization; condition; increment/decrement) {
// Code to be repeated
}

2. While Loop:
Executes a block of code as long as a specified condition is true.
Similar in both languages:
while (condition) {
// Code to be repeated
}

3. Do-While Loop:
Similar to a while loop but guarantees that the code block executes
at least once.
Similar in both languages:
do {
// Code to be repeated
} while (condition);

- continue and break keywords?


* continue:
In loops, continue is used to skip the current iteration and proceed to
the next iteration.
* break:
break is used to exit the loop prematurely, immediately terminating the
loop's execution.

- Use of loops?
Loops are used for various purposes, including:
* Iterating through arrays, lists, or collections of data.
* Implementing repetitive calculations.
* Creating menu-driven programs.
* Handling input validation.
* Implementing game loops in game development.
* Repeating actions until a specific condition is met.

- Questions:
* How can you exit a for loop prematurely before it reaches the end?

- Examples?
* sum.c for for loop
* factorial.cpp for while loop
* validate.c for do while loop
