For Loop

A for loop is a fundamental control flow construct in programming that iterates over a sequence of items, executing a block of code repeatedly for each element. It is widely used for tasks like processing arrays, lists, or ranges, and is essential for automating repetitive operations in code.

Also known as: for statement, for-in loop, for-of loop, for each loop, iteration loop

Why learn For Loop?

Developers should learn for loops to handle iteration efficiently in scenarios such as data processing, batch operations, or when working with collections. They are crucial in languages like Python, JavaScript, and Java for tasks like summing numbers, filtering data, or generating sequences, making code more concise and maintainable.
