for and while Loops

• If you know the number of iterations the loop requires, you should use a for loop
  • for loop allows you to explicitly state the number of iterations that the loop performs
• while loop should be used when you do not know the number of iterations the loop needs to perform
  • loop stops iterating when the terms stated in the condition clause are not met

Loop Control: next and exit Statements

• next Statement:
  • allows for the loop to bypass the remaining statements within the body of the loop and start immediately at the next iteration
