Summary: Repetition Continued

This lesson summarizes the main concepts presented in this chapter.

In a for loop, the process step forms the body. The initialization, test, and update steps are included explicitly right after the reserved word for.
A for loop has exactly the same logic as a while loop. We typically use a for statement for counted loops.
A for statement tests its condition immediately after any initialization occurs. Thus, the body of the loop might not execute at all.
We can omit either the initialization or the update step or both in a for statement, but we must retain the two semicolons.
When we declare two or more variables within a for statement, the variables must have the same data type. If they do not, we declare them before the for statement.
The do statement executes its body, which includes the update step, before evaluating a Boolean expression to decide whether to continue the iteration.
We must write a semicolon at the end of a do statement.
Use a do statement when we know that the body of the loop will execute at least once.
