A conditional loop will only continue to loop while the given condition is true: while( i < 10 ) { ... } An unconditional loop either has no condition (a GOTO loop), or the condition is guaranteed to always evaluate to true: while( true ) { ... }
The two types of looping include the closed loop and the open loop.There is the count loop, the conditional loop and the unconditional loop.
From inside any loop statement, the continue; statement will skip any remaining statements and re-evaluate the loop's conditional expression. If that expression remains true, a new iteration of the loop begins, otherwise control passes to the statement that follows the loop. Note that in a for or while loop, the conditional expression is defined before the loop body but in a do loop it is defined after the loop body.

We need a for loop because the while and do-while loops do not make use of a control variable. Although you can implement a counter inside a while or do-while loop, the use of a control variable is not as self-evident as it is in a for loop. Aside from the use of a control variable, a for loop is largely the same as a while loop. However, it is quite different to a do-while loop, which always executes at least one iteration of the loop before evaluating the conditional expression. In a for and while loop, the conditional expression is always evaluated before entering the loop, which may result in the loop not executing at all.
int i = 100; while(i > 0) { // Conditional loop --i; if((i % 2) == 0) { // Conditional statement inside a conditional loop System.out.println(i + " is even."); } }
The 'while' statement evaluates its expression at the beginning of the loop, while a 'do while' statement evaluates its expression at the end of the loop. The 'while' statement might execute no times. The 'do while' statement will execute at least one time. It depends on what you want to do, and on how you want to use the side effects, if any, of the expressions in the expression. (Before or after)

A while loop evaluates the conditional expression at the start of each iteration, whereas a do..while loop evaluates the conditional expression at the end of each iteration. Thus the do..while loop always executes at least one iteration.
To iterate the same command or series of commands while a conditional expression remains true. The parameters of those commands can (optionally) be altered by each iteration of the loop, as can the parameters used in the conditional expression.Conditional expressions may also be evaluated anywhere within the loop, forcing the loop to continue (start a new iteration, skipping any remaining commands in the loop), break (exit the loop completely and begin execution at the first command following the loop) or goto (jump to a specified label either inside or outside of the loop).The for() loop is the most common type of loop, usually used for counting a series of values in a sequence of increments. It accepts three parameters: the start value, a conditional expression and a function. All parameters are optional, but if a conditional expression is specified it is evaluated at the end of each loop, immediately after invoking the optional command.The while() loop must specify a conditional expression which is evaluated before each iteration of the loop.The do...while() loop must also specify a conditional expression which is evaluated at the end of each iteration. Such loops are guaranteed to loop at least once.All three are capable of creating infinite loops. Often this is desirable, but great care must be taken to ensure an infinite loop can exit gracefully at some point, otherwise your program will stall. The worst-case scenario is that the loop could bring the entire system to a halt either because the loop continually allocates memory or makes recursive calls to the function containing the loop. Infinite loop must therefore contain a conditional expression to exit the loop from within the body of the loop itself.
From inside any loop statement, the continue; statement will skip any remaining statements and re-evaluate the loop's conditional expression. If that expression remains true, a new iteration of the loop begins, otherwise control passes to the statement that follows the loop. Note that in a for or while loop, the conditional expression is defined before the loop body but in a do loop it is defined after the loop body.
An entry control loop places the conditional expression that terminates the loop at the start of the loop, where it is evaluated before each iteration of the loop. If the expression initially evaluates false, then the loop does not iterate at all and control passes to the next statement following the loop. An exit control loop places the conditional expression at the end of the loop, where it is evaluated after each iteration of the loop. This means that the loop always iterates at least once. Generally, exit control loops are best avoided as conditional expressions are ideally placed up front where they can be seen. This helps make code easier to read and thus easier to maintain. However, there will inevitably be cases where an exit control loop helps to express the logic more clearly. In C there are 3 ways to define a structured iterative loop, using the for, while and do-while statements. Although for and while loops are entry control loops and do-while is an exit control loop, conditional expressions may also be placed anywhere in the body of the loop itself, thus it is possible for a loop to be both entry control and exit control. However, to aid readability and maintainability, it is best to place the conditional expression up front whenever possible.

A while loop evaluates a conditional expression at the start of each iteration. If the conditional expression evaluates false, execution passes to the statement that immediately follows the body of the loop. If the conditional expression evaluates true, the body of the loop executes one iteration. When the end of the loop is reached, or a continue statement is encountered within the body of the loop, control passes back to the while statement where the conditional expression is re-evaluated. If a break statement is encountered within the body of the loop, the loop terminates and control passes to the next statement. If a return statement is encountered within the body of the loop, the loop terminates and control passes to the calling function.while (expression) {// repeats until the expression evaluates false}The braces are optional when the body of the loop is a simple statement. Compound statements must be enclosed in braces.A flag-controlled while loop has a simple conditional expression that evaluates a Boolean value:bool x;// ...while (x==true) { // flag-controlled loop// ...}}The above loop can also be written without the equality operator:while (x) { // flag-controlled loop // ...}Moreover, any integral type (such as int or char) will implicitly convert to a bool such that non-zero values evaluate true and zero evaluates false. As such, any integral type can be used in a flag-controlled loop.
ditioFor loops are a little more complex then the While loop. A for loop as 3 optional parameters. They are the initializer list, the conditional check, and the post incrementer list. The initializer list is the section that you declare variables and/or initialize them to a specific value. The conditional check is the conditional check for the loop to continue or finish. The post incrementer list is a section that is used to apply post loop code. Once each iteration of the loop is complete, these lines of code are called to update variables or conditions. Then the loop runs againns. Then the loop runs again
