For read this post you need to know about loops (for and while functions) so you can understand better when to use each one.
Here we have an example of a for loop:
And here we have a while loop:
In a for loop you kind of know how many times your loop will repeat, you have the number! meanwhile in a while loop you don’t know how many times it will repeat because it will be running until the condition is not true.
As simple as that! for=n times whilee= no idea how many times
Hope it was useful! I will let you some links where you can look for more information:
