Remember all these code snippets must be wrapped in a class method or a public static void main to actually run. For the idea/philosophy behind loops and how to use them go here

for loops⌗

for (initialization; termination; increment){
    statement(s);
}

Real world example:

//++ operator increments the value by one
for (int i=1; i<11; i++) {
    System.out.println("Your number is: " + i);
}

Infinite loop can be created this way:

for ( ; ; ) {
    //put code here
}

Can also loop over an array like in R/Python like this:

int[] numbers = {1,4,5,2,6,3,6,7}
for (int item : numbers) {
    System.out.println("Your number is: " + i);
}

while loops⌗

while (count < 11) {
    System.out.println("Your number is: " + count);
    count ++;
}

do-while loops⌗

The main difference between while and do-while loops in java is that while loops evaluate the condition for continuing at the beginning of the loop, and do-while evaluates its condition at the end of the loop. This means a do-while loop will run at least once as opposed to a while loop which could never run depending on the condition. You also have to initialize the variable before you write the loop unlike while loops where you can initialize the variable in the loop declaration.

int count = 1;
do {
    System.out.println("Your number is: " + count);
    count ++;
} while (count < 11);
