How to use C# for loop

The for loop in C# is useful for iterating over arrays and for sequential processing. That is the statements within the code block of a for loop will execute a series of statements as long as a specific condition remains true.

Syntax:

  for(initialization; condition; step)

statement

  initialization	: Initialize the value of variable.
  condition		: Evaluate the condition

step : Step taken for each execution of loop body

The for loop initialize the value before the first step. Then checking the condition against the current value of variable and execute the loop statement and then perform the step taken for each execution of loop body.

  int count = 4;
  for (int i = 1; i < = count; i++)
  {
	  MessageBox.Show("Current value of i is - " + i);

}

The output of the code as follows :

Current value of i is - 1

Current value of i is - 2

Current value of i is - 3

Current value of i is - 4

The loop will execute four times because we set the condition i is less than or equal to count.

  for (int i = 1; i < = count; i++)

  initialization	: int i = 1
  Initialize the variable i as 1, that is when the loop starts the

value of i is set as 1

  condition		: i < = count
  Set the condition i < =count , that is the loop will execute up to

when the value of i < = 4 (four times)

  step			: i++

Set the step for each execution of loop block as i++ ( i = i +1)

All of the expressions of the for loop statements are optional. The following statement is used to write an infinite loop.

  for (; ; )
  {
	  // statements

}

Here the loop will execute infinite times because there is no initialization , condition and steps.

            int count = 4;
            for (int i = 1; i < = count; i++)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Current value of i is - " + i);
            }
        }
    }
}
