Regular for loop

Definition

A regular for loop is a control flow statement used to repeatedly execute a block of code based on specified conditions. It provides more flexibility compared to an enhanced for loop as it allows explicit control over initialization, condition checking, and incrementing/decrementing variables.

Initialization:

Setting an initial value before starting a loop. In a regular for loop, this typically involves initializing a counter variable.

Condition Checking: Evaluating whether a certain condition is true or false. In a regular for loop, this condition determines whether the loop should continue executing.

Increment/Decrement: Increasing or decreasing the value of a variable by 1 or another specified amount. This operation is commonly performed in a regular for loop to control the iteration.
