Java for Loop

In this tutorial, we will learn how to use for loop in Java
with the help of examples and we will also learn about the
working of Loop in computer programming.
In computer programming, loops are used to repeat a

block of code. For example, if you want to show a
message 100 times, then rather than typing the same
code 100 times, you can use a loop.
In Java, there are three types of loops.

Java for Loop

Java for loop is used to run a block of code for a certain
number of times. The syntax of for loop is:
for (initialExpression; testExpression; updateExpression)

// body of the loop
Here,
1. The initialExpression initializes and/or declares

variables and executes only once.
2. The condition is evaluated. If the condition is true ,

the body of the for loop is executed.
3. The updateExpression updates the value of

initialExpression.
4. The condition is evaluated again. The process

continues until the condition is false .
To learn more about the conditions, visit Java relational

(/java-programming/operators#equality-relational) and
logical operators (/java-
programming/operators#logical).

int n = 1000;
// for loop
for (int i = 1; i <= n; ++i) {
// body inside for loop
sum += i; // sum = sum + i
System.out.println("Sum = " + sum);
Output:
Sum = 500500
Here, the value of sum is 0 initially. Then, the for loop is

iterated from i = 1 to 1000 . In each iteration, i is added
to sum and its value is increased by 1.
When i becomes 1001, the test condition is false and

sum will be equal to 0 + 1 + 2 + .... + 1000 .
The above program to add the sum of natural numbers

can also be written as
// Program to find the sum of natural numbers from 1 to 1
PRO
for
class Main {
FREE
www.domain-name.com

int sum = 0;
int n = 1000;
// for loop
for (int i = n; i >= 1; --i) {
// body inside for loop
sum += i; // sum = sum + i
System.out.println("Sum = " + sum);
The output of this program is the same as the Example 3.
Java for-each Loop

The Java for loop has an alternative syntax that makes it
easy to iterate through arrays (/java-
programming/arrays) and collections. For example,
// print array elements
PRO
for
class Main {
FREE
www.domain-name.com

// create an array
int[] numbers = {3, 7, 5, -5};
// iterating through the array
for (int number: numbers) {
System.out.println(number);
}
}
Output
-5
Here, we have used the for-each loop to print each

element of the numbers array one by one.
In the first iteration of the loop, number will be 3, number
will be 7 in second iteration and so on.
