Hi everyone and welcome to Java Loops.

And no, it's not a breakfast cereal.

So what exactly is a loop?
0:14
In programming, a loop is a way to repeat
a set of instructions multiple times.
0:16
Instead of writing the same code
over and over, we use loops to make
0:21
our code
shorter, clearer, and more powerful.
0:25
You might use a loop
when you want to do something many times,
0:28
printing numbers from 1 to 10,
going through all the items in a list,
0:32
or asking a user for input
until they give a valid answer.
0:36
Loops are everywhere in programming
because they help us
0:40
handle repetitive tasks efficiently.
0:42
There are a few different types
of loops in Java.
0:45
Each has its own use cases,
but they all share the same basic idea.
0:48
Keep repeating some code
until a certain condition is met.
0:52
Learning how to use loops
0:56
will make your programs much more flexible
and save you lots of time.
0:57
In this course, we'll break down
each type of loop, show you how they work,
1:02
and give you plenty of practice
1:05
so you can use them confidently
in your own projects.
