quick help with a simple confusion
int result = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
result += 3;
}
System.out.println(result);
vs
int result = 0;
int i = 0;
while (true) {
result += 3; // shorthand for result = result + 3
i++; // shorthand for i = i + 1
if (i == 4) {
break;
}
}
System.out.println(result);
why in the first one when we use i < 4 it prints out 12 but in the second one i == 4 prints out the same thing

i get the whole for and while loop stuff but i dont get that part
Hi, it is about condition, when to break the loop. In the for cycle, the condition is "i<4" but in the while loop you have "i==4".
And also the difference is when you increase the "i" variable.
If you put the i == 4 break at the beginning of the while loop it should print 9
for loops check the condition before doing another iteration, you check it after with the while loop
