For Loops: Iterating a Known Number of Times

A for loop repeats a block of code a specific number of times. It has three parts: initialization (int i = 0), a condition (i < 5), and an increment (i++). The loop runs as long as the condition is true.

snippet.cpp
cpp
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
int main() {
    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
        cout << "Iteration number: " << i << endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

Breakdown

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)

The loop header: creates a counter variable i, checks if i is less than 5, and increments i after each iteration

cout << "Iteration number: " << i << endl;

Prints the current iteration number to the console

}

Marks the end of the loop body - the code inside will repeat
