Which loop suits printing a table 1 to 10?
Short answer. A for loop, because the count is known.
Which loop suits counting the digits of a number?
A while loop, because the count is not known in advance.
Pick a loop
| When | Loop |
|---|---|
| Count known | for |
| Count unknown | while |
| At least once | do-while |
Remember
| for: known count |
| while: unknown count |
| do-while: once or more |
