The For loop in C
For loop is probably the most popular looping instruction.
The for allows us to specify three things about a loop in a single line:
- Setting a loop counter to an initial value.
- Testing the loop counter to determine whether its value has reached the number of repetitions desired.
- Increasing the value of loop counter each time the program segment within the loop has been executed.
In General the for loop syntax is :
for (initialize counter; test counter ; increment counter )
{
perform the task;
}
