6. Iterative Constructs in Java

Iterative constructs in Java are loops that repeat a block of code while a condition is true, enhancing efficiency by reducing code repetition. Java supports three primary loops: for, while, and do-while, each with distinct use cases. The chapter also discusses loop control statements like break and continue, nested loops for 2D structures, and highlights the importance of these constructs in automating repetitive tasks and improving code readability.

    Iterative Constructs In Java

    Iterative constructs, or loops, are programming statements that allow for the repetition of a block of code based on specific conditions.

    What Are Iterative Constructs?

    Iterative constructs, or loops, are programming statements that execute a block of code repeatedly as long as a specified condition holds true.

    Types Of Iterative Constructs In Java

    This section discusses the three main types of iterative constructs in Java: for loop, while loop, and do-while loop.

  • 6.2.1

    For Loop

    The 'for' loop in Java is a control structure that allows repeated execution of a block of code a known number of times.

  • 6.2.2

    While Loop

    The while loop in Java allows for code to be executed repeatedly as long as a specified condition remains true.

    Learning Practice

  • 6.2.3

    Do-While Loop

    The do-while loop in Java executes a block of code at least once before checking its condition, allowing for guaranteed execution of the loop body.

    Loop Control Statements

    Loop control statements in Java allow developers to alter the flow of loops through 'break' and 'continue' commands.

    Learning Practice

  • 6.3.1

    Break Statement

    The break statement in Java is used to exit a loop prematurely, regardless of the loop's condition.

    Learning Practice

  • 6.3.2

    Continue Statement

    The continue statement in Java is used within loops to skip the current iteration and continue with the next one.

    Learning Practice

  • 6.4

    Nested Loops

    Nested loops consist of one loop inside another, allowing for the iteration over multi-dimensional structures.
