LOOPING STATEMENTS

Looping statements are the control flow statements that allow us to repeatedly execute a set of
statements for a given number of times. These are also called iteration statements or loops. Java
provides three kinds of looping statements, which are as follows:

while
do-while

for

However, the for loop is more commonly used as compared to the while and do-while loops.

Let us learn about these in detail.
The while Loop

The while loop is a flow control statement in Java. It is used to execute a block of statements repeatedly
until a given condition becomes false. In a while loop, the condition is evaluated first and if it returns
true, then the statements inside the loop are executed.
