C# - LOOPS
There may be a situation, when you need to execute a block of code several number of times. In general
statements are executed sequentially: The first statement in a function is executed first, followed by the second,
and so on.
Programming languages provide various control structures that allow for more complicated execution paths.
A loop statement allows us to execute a statement or group of statements multiple times and following is the
general from of a loop statement in most of the programming languages:
C# provides following types of loop to handle looping requirements. Click the following links to check their detail.
Loop Type Description
while loop Repeats a statement or group of statements while a given condition is true.
It tests the condition before executing the loop body.
for loop Executes a sequence of statements multiple times and abbreviates the code
that manages the loop variable.
do...while loop Like a while statement, except that it tests the condition at the end of the loop
body
nested loops You can use one or more loop inside any another while, for or do..while
loop.
Loop Control Statements:
Loop control statements change execution from its normal sequence. When execution leaves a scope, all
automatic objects that were created in that scope are destroyed.
C# provides the following control statements. Click the following links to check their details.
Control Statement Description
break statement Terminates the loop or switch statement and transfers execution to the
statement immediately following the loop or switch.
continue statement Causes the loop to skip the remainder of its body and immediately retest its
condition prior to reiterating.
The Infinite Loop:
A loop becomes infinite loop if a condition never becomes false. The for loop is traditionally used for this
purpose. Since none of the three expressions that form the for loop are required, you can make an endless loop
by leaving the conditional expression empty.
using System;
namespace Loops
{

class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
for (; ; )
{
Console.WriteLine("Hey! I am Trapped");
}

}
}
}
When the conditional expression is absent, it is assumed to be true. You may have an initialization and increment
expression, but programmers more commonly use the for(;;) construct to signify an infinite loop.
