CSE110 Principles of Programming with Java Lecture 13: Loops: for statement Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez [email protected] javiergs.engineering.asu.edu | javiergs.com Office Hours: By appointment
Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSE110 | Summer 2020 | 2 Topics class global variables methods statements instructions local variables conditional Statements if-else switch ?: loop Statement while do-while for
Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSE110 | Summer 2020 | 5 The for Statement • A for loop is functionally equivalent to the following while loop structure: //initialization while ( condition ) { // statement // increment or update }
Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSE110 | Summer 2020 | 8 The for Statement • Like a while loop, the condition of a for statement is tested prior to executing the loop body • Therefore, the body of a for loop will execute zero or more times • It is well suited for executing a loop a specific number of times that can be determined in advance
Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSE110 | Summer 2020 | 9 The for Statement Each expression in the header of a for loop is optional: • If the initialization is left out, no initialization is performed • If the condition is left out, it is always considered to be true, and therefore creates an infinite loop • If the increment is left out, no increment operation is performed Both semi-colons are always required in the for-loop header.
Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSE110 | Summer 2020 | 14 Choosing a Loop Structure • When you can’t determine how many times you want to execute the loop body, use a while statement or a do statement • If it might be zero or more times, use a while statement • If it will be at least once, use a do statement • If you can determine how many times you want to execute the loop body, use a for statement
Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSE110 | Summer 2020 | 15 Nested loops • We can have a loop inside of another loop for (int i=1; i<=3; i=i+1) { for (int j=4; j>=1; j=j-1) { System.out.println( i + "," + j ); } }
Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSE110 | Summer 2020 | 17 One more thing • We can have a loop inside of another loop for (int i=1; i<=3; i++) { for (int j=4; j>=1; j--) { System.out.println( i + "," + j ); } }
