Loops (for statements)
In this lesson you will learn how to repeat work with a for statement in C#, so you can run the same logic efficiently. This is for anyone searching for "C# for loop how to use".
A for statement repeats the same work. Instead of copying the same lines over and over, a few lines express a large number of repetitions - that is the power of a loop.
The sample code prints the numbers 1 through 5 using for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++). This C-derived form (initialiser, condition, update) is shared with Java, JavaScript, and many other languages.
A common stumbling block for beginners is confusing the roles of the three parts. Each one is different: where the loop starts, whether it keeps going, and what changes on every pass.
In real-world development, this is an indispensable construct that shows up everywhere, such as when processing the elements of an array or a list one at a time.
