Types of loop in C++ - Part 8

There may be a situation, when you need to execute a block of code several number of times. In general, statements are executed sequentially: The first statement in a function is executed first, followed by the second, and so on.

Programming languages provide various control structures that allow for more complicated execution paths.

A loop statement allows us to execute a statement or group of statements multiple times and following is the general from of a loop statement in most of the programming languages −

while loop
------------------
Repeats a statement or group of statements while a given condition is true. It tests the condition before executing the loop body.

do...while loop
-----------------------
Like a ‘while’ statement, except that it tests the condition at the end of the loop body.

for loop
------------
Execute a sequence of statements multiple times and abbreviates the code that manages the loop variable.
