6.1 Java - Lecture28 PDF

This lesson covers the concept of loops in Java, including while loops, do-while loops, and for loops, which are used to repeat blocks of code a specified number of times. Each loop consists of a counter declaration, a boolean expression, and a counter action. The lesson concludes with a note on the next topic, which is pre-tested vs post-tested loops.

Lesson 28

Repeating Blocks of
Code using Iteration
Statements (loops).

PRESENTED BY

Loops
- Java provides several types of loops.
- Loops are used to iterate (repeat) a block of code a number of times.
- The number of times a loop ‘loops’ is known as the number of iterations
of that loop.

int m = 1; Counter declaration


while (m <= 10) { Boolean expression
System.out.println(m);
m++; Counter action
}

- Note: m++ means ‘increase the value of m by 1’, or ‘increment m’.
Loops
- Each loop must contain:
• A counter declaration: This keeps track of the number of iterations the
loop has made.
• A boolean expression: When this evaluates to true, we run another
iteration. Otherwise, we stop the loop.
• A counter action: What to do to the counter after each iteration.
int m = 1;
while (m <= 10) {
System.out.println(m);
m++;

}

- This will display the numbers from 1 to 10.


Loops
- The loop on the previous slide is called a while loop.
- Java also provides a do-while loop, which is very similar.

int k = 1;
do {
System.out.println(k);
k++;
} while (k <= 10);

- This loop does the same as the while loop, it displays the numbers 1 to 10.

For Loop
- The for loop is popular since it encapsulates the elements required in a
loop into just one line.

for (int i=1; i <= 10; i++) {


System.out.println(i);
}

- This loop does the same as the other loops, it displays the numbers 1 to 10.
