The for Loop
The for loop in Java helps to repeat a set of statements a definite number of times. It is designed
to process the items of any sequence one by one.
The syntax of the 'for' loop is as follows:
for (initialisation; Start
conditional expression;
increment/decrement) Initialisation
{
[statements]
False Conditional
}
Expression
Increment/Decrement
True
Body of for loop
Stop
Flowchart of the 'for' Loop
In a 'for' loop, the initialisation section initialises a variable when the loop starts its execution. This
section executes only once and controls the execution of the 'for' loop. The semicolon symbol
terminates the initialisation section. Next, the conditional expression section is evaluated. This
section contains a test condition. The body of the loop will be executed until the test condition
becomes false. At the end, the increment/decrement section is executed. This controls the
iterations of the 'for' loop.
For example:
public class ForLoop
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int i;
for(i=1; i<=10; i++)
{
System.out.println("Touchpad");
}
}
} Output
The preceding program prints the word ‘Touchpad’ ten times.
