Loops Summary
In this chapter, we learned to work with loops in C++. We found out that:
We use loops when we need to repeat a part of code.
- The
while
loop allows us to repeatedly execute a block of code as long as the condition is true. It's used when we don't know how many times the loop needs to be repeated. - The
for
loop also allows us to repeatedly execute a block of code. It's more intuitive for working with vectors and is used when we know how many times the loop needs to be repeated. - Range-based for loop (
for(type element : vector)
) allows us to easily iterate through elements of a vector or string. - The
break
statement terminates the loop early. - The
continue
statement skips the current iteration and continues with the next iteration. - The
break
andcontinue
statements can be used in all types of loops. - We can iterate through characters in a string using all types of loops.
- Loops can be nested, which means one loop can be inside another. This is useful when working with multiple vectors or nested vectors.
Congratulations on completing the lesson about loops! In the next lesson, we'll look at functions. They will help us write more efficient and readable code, which is essential for solving more complex problems.
