2.6    Always the Same with Loops

Loops are used to process certain statements over and over again. A loop includes a loop condition and the loop’s body. The loop condition, a Boolean expression, decides under which condition the repetition is executed. Depending on the loop condition, the body can be executed several times. For this purpose, the loop condition is checked in each loop pass. The result decides whether the body is traversed another time ( true) or the loop is terminated ( false ). Java provides four types of loops.

Loop Type	Syntax
