Question

The difference between a for loop and a while loop is that a for loop is a loop that happens for a certain number of times. A while loop happens until a certain condition is met. How do you know when to use each one? Give specific examples in your answer.

Answer 1

For loop, if you have to fill water in a bucket three times, It will fill water in a bucket three times. While loop, If you have to take water from the well multiple times but stop when the water is empty in the well.

Explanation:

• For loop is used mostly static way of programming.
• While loop is used for dynamic approach of programming.
• Static approach has fix number of times the task is done.
• Dynamic approach is conditional attempt to complete the entire task.
• For loop uses discrete which means it uses the count approach.
• While loop is basis on characteristic, It works mostly with alphabet.
• Functions play major role in while loop to take a dynamic approach.
