Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use a for loop vs a while loop?

Use for loops when you know the number of iterations in advance (like iterating over an array). Use while loops when the condition depends on runtime factors or when you don't know how many iterations you need.

What is the difference between break and continue?

break exits the loop completely and continues with code after the loop. continue skips the rest of the current iteration and moves to the next iteration. Both are useful for controlling loop flow.

How can I avoid infinite loops?

Always ensure your loop condition will eventually become false. Make sure loop counters are updated correctly. Use break statements as safety exits when appropriate. Test loops with small datasets first.
