C For Loop

🔁 C For Loop – Count & Repeat with Style

The for loop in C is your go-to loop when you know exactly how many times you want to repeat a block of code. It’s like setting a timer: start here, stop there, and count up!

🔹 Syntax of for loop

for (initialization; condition; increment) {
    // code to execute
}

📝 Example: Print 1 to 5

This program prints numbers from 1 to 5 using a for loop.

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
        printf("Number: %d\n", i);
    }

    return 0;
}
  

📝 Example: Print Even Numbers

This version prints even numbers from 2 to 10.

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    for (int i = 2; i <= 10; i += 2) {
        printf("Even: %d\n", i);
    }

    return 0;
}
  

🎯 Key Points

• The for loop is compact and efficient for counting tasks.
• All three parts (init, condition, increment) are in one line.
• You can also loop backward or skip numbers (e.g., i -= 1 or i += 3).

🎉 Practice Time!

Try printing odd numbers, countdowns, or even create your own mini table generator using the for loop!
