java for loop

The for loop in Java is a control flow statement that allows you to execute a block of code multiple times. The for loop has a specific syntax that allows you to specify the loop variable, the loop condition, and the loop increment or decrement.

Here's an example of how to use the for loop in Java:

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Count from 1 to 10
    for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
      System.out.println(i);
    }
  }
}

This code creates a for loop that starts at 1, continues until it reaches 10, and increments the loop variable i by 1 on each iteration. The loop variable i is initialized to 1 before the loop starts, and the loop condition i <= 10 is checked before each iteration. If the condition is true, the loop continues; if the condition is false, the loop ends.

The for loop is a useful tool for performing a set of actions a specific number of times, or for iterating over the items in an array or other collection.

Here's the general syntax of the for loop in Java:

for (initialization; condition; increment) {
  // code to be executed
}

The initialization statement is executed before the loop starts, and is usually used to initialize the loop variable. The condition is checked before each iteration, and if it is true, the loop continues; if it is false, the loop ends. The increment statement is executed at the end of each iteration, and is usually used to modify the loop variable.
