On mastery 20<\/a>\u00a0<\/b>we learned how to use a for loop.<\/p>\n A FOR loop is a type of loop which allows you to give specific conditions to it, and then repeat when this conditions are true. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now, while and for may be seem like they are the same, but they certainly ain\u2019t. The main difference between them is that FOR loops will continue happening for a given number of iterations.\u00a0<\/p>\n As you may recall, functions <\/b><\/a>often use a for loop because of the iteration part. In someway, FOR loops are\u00a0\u201cbetter\u201d when dealing with functions, while WHILE loops are great to work with inside main().<\/p>\n Picture and more information from this webpage<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On this mastery I’ll show you when to use what type of repetition in a program. <\/p>\n For the purpose of this mastery, we’ll focus on while <\/b>and for <\/b>loops because they are the easiest and most used ones.<\/p>\n On mastery 19<\/a> <\/b>we learned how to use a while loop. The while loop consists of something that will happen WHILE a condition is given. For example: WHILE x is greater or equal than 0, something will happen, and this process will continue to happen WHILE this condition is true.<\/p>\n On mastery 20<\/a> <\/b>we learned how to use a for loop.<\/p>\n A FOR loop is a type of loop which allows you to give specific conditions to it, and then repeat when this conditions are true. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now, while and for may be seem like they are the same, but they certainly ain’t.
