The for loop executes a statement or a block of statements repeatedly until a specified expression evaluates to false. The for loop is handy for iterating over arrays and for sequential processing. In the following example, the value of
int i
is written to the console and i
is incremented each time through the loop by 1.Example:
// statements_for.cs
// for loop
using System;
class ForLoopTest
{
static void Main()
{
for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine(i);
}
}
}
Output:
1
2
3
4
5
- First, the initial value of the variable
i
is evaluated. - Then, while the value of
i
is less than or equal to 5, the condition evaluates to true, theConsole.WriteLine
statement is executed andi
is reevaluated. - When
i
is greater than 5, the condition becomes false and control is transferred outside the loop.
Because the test of conditional expression takes place before the execution of the loop, therefore, a for statement executes zero or more times.
All of the expressions of the for statement are optional; for example, the following statement is used to write an infinite loop:
for (;;)
{
// ...
}
