Repeating with loops

C# offers several ways to repeat code: for loops (best when you know the count), while loops (runs while a condition is true), and do-while loops (always runs at least once).

for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
    Console.WriteLine("Hop: " + i);
}

int count = 0;
while (count < 2) {
    Console.WriteLine("Count: " + count);
    count++;
}

How it reads

• int i = 0 declares and initializes a counter variable
• i < 3 tests if the counter is still less than 3
• i++ increments the counter at the end of each iteration

Cloud tip: Always ensure a while loop has a path to false, otherwise it becomes an infinite loop and hangs the program.
