Java Loops
while Loop
The while loop performs a test and continues if the expression evaluates to true.
The while statement evaluates expression, which must return a boolean value. If the
expression evaluates to true, the while statement executes the statements in the while
block.
The while loop, shown in the slide, iterates through an array by using a counter.
There is also a do-while loop, where the test after the expression has run at least once.
The difference between do-while and while is that do-while evaluates its expression at the
bottom of the loop instead of the top.

for Loop
The for statement provides a compact way to iterate over a range of values - it
repeatedly loops until a particular condition is satisfied
A counter is initialized and incremented for each step of the for loop shown in
the slide.
When the condition statement evaluates to false (when i is no longer less than
9), the loop exits.
