I know that for while and do loops are very similar but in what specific scenarios would I choose on-CodePudding

I'm brand new to coding and now that I've started using loops I'd like to know which ones I should normally use and when.

CodePudding user response：

Since you're just starting off, what should be relevant to you is that a do-while loop will always execute at least once while a while loop can run zero times.

CodePudding user response：

no specific answer to this, anything that can be achieved with for loop can also be achieved with while or do-while. Here are some general notes :

for is usually used with arrays, or when the number of loops is known.
while and do-while, are used when I need to loop until a condition has been met.
do-while will execute the code at least once, even if the condition is false.
