Example
for loops are simplified syntax for a very common loop pattern, which could be accomplished in more lines with a while loop.
The following is a common example of a for loop, which will execute 100 times and then stop.
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
// do something
}
This is equivalent to a while loop:
int num = 0;
while (num < 100) {
// do something
num++;
}
You can create an endless loop by omitting the condition.
for (;;) {
// do something
}
This is equivalent to a while loop:
while (true) {
// do something
}
