Class 04 : For Loops, While Loops

Key Differences

Control Flow:

  • “For loops” are more structured and provide a clear mechanism for initialization, condition checking, and iteration.

  • “While loops” give us more flexibility, allowing us to control the loop more directly.

Structure:

  • “For loops” have an explicit initialization, condition, and iteration expression within the loop header.

  • “While loops” have just the condition at the beginning. We need to manually handle initialization and iteration within the loop body.

Created a pattern by making something with a lot of repetition.Re-writed it using a loop

Pattern 1

I created a checkerboard grid of 100 cells by using % Modulo

I created something loop without using a for loop or a while loop by using “Function“.

Pattern 2

Summary

  • “For loops” are commonly used when we know the number of iterations in advance or we want to iterate over a range of values.

  • “While loops” are used when we're not sure how many iterations are needed and want to continue looping until a certain condition is met.
