for Loops

Explore the use of for loops in Dart to run code multiple times with control over iteration. Understand how to iterate through lists and sets, use the for-in form, and apply conditions within loops to perform selective operations.

Introduction

You have to print 100 copies of a document. Imagine having to print each copy individually and pressing print 100 times. It’s a lot more efficient and easier to just tell the printer to print the 100 copies and press print once.

The printer is performing an operation (printing a document) repeatedly in a loop until it reaches its goal (100 copies).

In computer programming, we sometimes come across scenarios where a block of code needs to be executed multiple times.

Dart provides for loops for this exact purpose.

Control flow

Let’s look at the general control flow of a for loop below.

The for loop allows us to specify a range of numbers over which we want our loop to run.

The iterator ...
