Loops in Java

Annexa Academics – Grade 9 ICSE Programming Notes

➤ Introduction
Loops in Java allow a set of instructions to be executed repeatedly until a
certain condition is met. Java supports three main types of loops:
• for loop
• while loop
• do-while loop

1. for Loop

Syntax:
java
CopyEdit
for (initialization; condition; update) {
// code to repeat
}

Example: Print numbers 1 to 5


java
CopyEdit
class ForLoopExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
System.out.println(i);
}
}
}

2. while Loop

Syntax:
java
CopyEdit
while (condition) {
// code to repeat
}

Example: Print numbers 1 to 5


java
CopyEdit
class WhileLoopExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int i = 1;
while (i <= 5) {
System.out.println(i);
i++;
}
}
}

3. do-while Loop
The do-while loop runs at least once, even if the condition is false, because the
condition is checked after the first execution.

Syntax:
java
CopyEdit
do {
// code to repeat
} while (condition);

Example: Print numbers 1 to 5


java
CopyEdit
class DoWhileExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int i = 1;
do {
System.out.println(i);
i++;
} while (i <= 5);
}
}

Example When Condition is False


java
CopyEdit
class DoWhileFalse {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int i = 10;
do {
System.out.println("This will run once!");
} while (i < 5);
}
}

Even though the condition is false, the message still prints once.
