What is the difference between a for loop and a while loop?

Question

Accepted Answer

For loop is used when the number of iterations is known, while loop is used when the condition is true.

For loop is used when the number of iterations is known beforehand.
While loop is used when the condition needs to be checked before each iteration.
For loop is more concise and easier to read for simple iterations.
While loop is more flexible as the condition can be changed within the loop.
Example: for(int i=0; i<5; i++) { //code }
Example: int i = 0; while(i < 5) { //code i++; }
