    The document discusses the flow of execution for a for loop in four steps: 1) initialization happens once, 2) the condition is evaluated on each iteration, 3) after each iteration the increment/decrement is executed, 4) then it jumps back to step 2. It provides an example for loop that prints the values of i from 10 to 2 as it decrements by 1 each iteration. It also explains the initialization, condition, and decrement parts of the for loop code. Finally, it includes two activities to practice for loops - one generating star pyramids and another generating number pyramids.

    For Loop Additional Notes and Activities

    Flow of Execution of the for Loop

    First step: In for loop, initialization happens first and only one time, which
    means that the initialization part of for loop only executes once.

    Second step: Condition in for loop is evaluated on each iteration, if the


    condition is true then the statements inside for loop body gets executed. Once
    the condition returns false, the statements in for loop does not execute and the
    control gets transferred to the next statement in the program after for loop.

    Third step: After every execution of for loop’s body, the increment/decrement
    part of for loop executes that updates the loop counter.

    Fourth step: After third step, the control jumps to second step and condition
    is re-evaluated.

    Example:

    public class ForLoopExample {

    public static void main(String args[]){

    for(int i=10; i>1; i--){

    System.out.println("The value of i is: "+i);

    Output:

    The value of i is: 10

    The value of i is: 9

    The value of i is: 8

    The value of i is: 7


    The value of i is: 6

    The value of i is: 5

    The value of i is: 4

    The value of i is: 3

    The value of i is: 2

    Explanation of the code:

    int i=1 is initialization expression


    i>1 is condition(Boolean expression)
    i– Decrement operation

    Activity 1: For Loop Syntax. Fill in the blanks to make the block of code work.
    Save the file as LastnameFirstnameForLoop.pdf.

    1.

    public (1)___________ ForLoopActivity1 {

    (2)__________ static void main(String[] args) {

    for((3)_________ i=1; i<= 5 ;i++){

    (4)__________(int j=0; j < i; (5)________){

    System.out.print("*");

    System.out.println("");

    }
    Expected Output:

    **

    ***

    ****

    *****

    2.

    (1)______ class ForLoopActivity2 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

    (2)_________(int i=5; (3)________ ;i--){

    (4)________(int j=0; j < i; j++){

    (5)_________("*");

    System.out.println("");

    Expected Output:

    Activity 2. The previous activity shows the generation of two star pyramids. In
    this activity, create two pyramids consisting of numbers with the use of For
    Loop. Place both codes in one file.

    1. Using For Loop, create a program to generate a pyramid consisting of


    numbers. Use the class name(file name) LastnameForLoop1

    Expected Output:

    12

    123

    1234

    12345

    2. Using For Loop, create a program to generate an inverted pyramid consisting


    of numbers. Use the class name(file name) LastnameForLoop2

    Expected Output:

    12345

    1234

    123

    12
