Lesson 3 Java Revision Sheet - Loops Comparison (For, While, Do-While)

This document provides a comparison of the three loop types in Java: for, while, and do-while, highlighting their best use cases and syntax. It includes examples for each loop type and a comparison table detailing features such as entry control and whether they run at least once. Additionally, it suggests an exercise to practice printing even numbers from 1 to 20 using all three loop types.

Java Revision Sheet – Loops Comparison (for, while, do-while)

Description:
This revision handout compares all three loop types in Java. It's useful for students revising
for tests or understanding when to use which loop based on real examples.

🔁 Why Use Loops?

Loops help us execute a block of code repeatedly, either a specific number of times or until a
condition is met.

🔄 Types of Loops in Java

Loop Type Best Used When… Syntax Overview


for loop Number of iterations is known for (init; condition; update) { }
while loop Iteration until condition is true while (condition) { }
do-while Execute at least once, then check do { } while (condition);

🔧 1. for Loop Example


java
CopyEdit
for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
System.out.println("Count: " + i);
}

🔄 2. while Loop Example


java
CopyEdit
int i = 1;
while (i <= 5) {
System.out.println("Count: " + i);
i++;
}

🔂 3. do-while Loop Example


java
CopyEdit
int i = 1;
do {
System.out.println("Count: " + i);
i++;
} while (i <= 5);
⚖️Comparison Table

Feature for while do-while


Entry Control? Yes Yes No (Exit control)
Runs at least once? No No Yes
Common Use Counting loops User input / condition-based Menus, retries

🧠 Exercise: Print Even Numbers from 1 to 20 Using All Loops

 Try using for, while, and do-while separately.


 Use if (i % 2 == 0) condition inside the loop.
