Sams Teach Yourself C#™ in 24 Hours

Summary

Looping is a powerful technique that allows you to write tighter code. Tighter code is code consisting of fewer lines, is more efficient, and is usually—but not always—more readable. In this hour, you learned to write for loops for situations in which you know the precise number of times you want a loop executed. Remember, it's not necessary to know the number of iterations at design time, but you must know the number at runtime to use a for loop. You learned how to use iterators to increment the counter of a for loop, and even how to exit a loop prematurely using break.

In this hour, you also learned how to use the very powerful do…while loop. The do…while loop enables you to create very flexible loops that can handle almost any looping ...
