How do you execute a for-loop in Java?
Educative Answers TeamWhat is a for-loop?
Imagine a situation where you have to print something a hundred times. How would you do that?
You could type the command a hundred times, or maybe copy-paste it repeatedly – but you probably wouldn’t want to.
This is where loops come into use. When using a for-loop, those hundred lines of code can be written in as few as three to four statements.
A for-loop allows a particular set of statements, written inside the loop, to be executed repeatedly until a specified condition is satisfied.

Code
This code will print out the first ten natural numbers using a for-loop in Java.
class Sample{
public static void main(String args[]) {
int start = 1; // starting condition
int end = 10; // ending condition
for (int index = start; index <= end; index++) {
System.out.println("Value of index: "+ index);
}
}
}The loop will run ten times, printing the first ten natural numbers, until the terminating condition is met, i.e.,​ when the index is equal to ten.
