Chapter 6: Repeating Blocks of Code with Loops
In this brief chapter, we will learn about Java loops and how they enable us to repeat sections of our code in a controlled manner. Loops in Java take a few different forms and we will learn how to use them all. Throughout the rest of this book, we will put each of them to good use.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Making decisions with Java
- Some more Java operators
- While loops
- Do while loops
- For loops
- How to draw the grid lines of the Sub' Hunter game (using loops)
This is the second to last chapter before we complete the first game and move on to a more advanced project.
