4.2 For Loops
Similar to while loops, for loops run until a condition is false. Format of for loop below:
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
System.out.println(i);
}

Explanation
- in the above for loop:
- int i = 0 defines the iterating variable
- i < 5 is the condition (once i < 5 is false, this loop breaks)
- i++ is the incrementation of the iterating variable
- System.out.println(i); is the body code that runs every time the loop iterates
For Each Loops:
- Apart from iterating using an incrementing variable, you can also iterate through items in a list.
Example of For Each loop below
int[] list = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; // any list
for (int item : list) { // for each item in the list, execute the body
System.out.println(item); // body code
}

#python version
array=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
for i in array:
print(i)
Explanation:
- in the above loop:
- int item : list - this line is saying that for each item in the list, execute code below
- System.out.println(num); - this line is the body code.
Fun For Loop Hack:
Create a program that iterates through a list of numbers (int_list = {0, 4, 51, 83, 92, 10, 123, 145}) using both a for loop and a for each loop, then split the numbers in the list into even/odd lists, and output them.
import java.util.ArrayList;
int[]int_list = {0, 4, 51, 83, 92, 10, 123, 145};
ArrayList<Integer>even= new ArrayList();
ArrayList<Integer>odd=new ArrayList();
for(int i=0;i<int_list.length;i++){
if(int_list[i]%2==0){
even.add(int_list[i]);
}
else{
odd.add(int_list[i]);
}
}
System.out.println(even);
System.out.println(odd);
// method 2
int[]int_list = {0, 4, 51, 83, 92, 10, 123, 145};
ArrayList<Integer>even1= new ArrayList();
ArrayList<Integer>odd1=new ArrayList();
for(int i:int_list){
if(i%2==0){
even1.add(i);
}
else{
odd1.add(i);
}
}
System.out.println(even1);
System.out.println(odd1);
[0, 4, 92, 10]
[51, 83, 123, 145]
[0, 4, 92, 10]
[51, 83, 123, 145]
