9.1 for Loop
This topic teaches for Loop as part of Loops. Learn the purpose first, then inspect the syntax and test it with small inputs before using it in production.
Code example
public class Main { public static void main(String[] args){ for(int i=1;i<=5;i++) System.out.println(i); } }Step-by-step explanation
- Identify the values, objects, tables, or resources used by the example.
- Read each statement in execution order.
- Predict what the program or query should produce.
- Run it in a safe local/test environment.
- Change one input and explain the new result.
Expected output/result
You should see a small result that demonstrates for Loop. Exact formatting can differ by runtime, client, database state, operating system, or tool version.
Common mistakes
Watch for invalid input, unchecked errors, incorrect type assumptions, missing cleanup, unsafe permissions, injection risks, or code/query logic that handles only the happy path.
Practice exercise
Rebuild this example with your own data. Add one edge case, predict the result before running it, and explain why the final result is correct.
9.2 while Loop
This topic teaches while Loop as part of Loops. Learn the purpose first, then inspect the syntax and test it with small inputs before using it in production.

9.3 do/foreach Variants
This topic teaches do/foreach Variants as part of Loops. Learn the purpose first, then inspect the syntax and test it with small inputs before using it in production.

- Identify the values, objects, tables, or resources used by the example.
- Read each statement in execution order.
- Predict what the program or query should produce.
- Run it in a safe local/test environment.
- Change one input and explain the new result.
Expected output/result
You should see a small result that demonstrates do/foreach Variants. Exact formatting can differ by runtime, client, database state, operating system, or tool version.
Common mistakes
Watch for invalid input, unchecked errors, incorrect type assumptions, missing cleanup, unsafe permissions, injection risks, or code/query logic that handles only the happy path.

9.4 break/continue
This topic teaches break/continue as part of Loops. Learn the purpose first, then inspect the syntax and test it with small inputs before using it in production.
Code example
public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { // break/continue
System.out.println("Java example"); } }Step-by-step explanation
- Identify the values, objects, tables, or resources used by the example.
- Read each statement in execution order.
- Predict what the program or query should produce.
- Run it in a safe local/test environment.
- Change one input and explain the new result.
Expected output/result
You should see a small result that demonstrates break/continue. Exact formatting can differ by runtime, client, database state, operating system, or tool version.

9.5 Loop Best Practices
This topic teaches Loop Best Practices as part of Loops. Learn the purpose first, then inspect the syntax and test it with small inputs before using it in production.
Code example
public class Main { public static void main(String[] args){ for(int i=1;i<=5;i++) System.out.println(i); } }Step-by-step explanation
- Identify the values, objects, tables, or resources used by the example.
- Read each statement in execution order.
- Predict what the program or query should produce.
- Run it in a safe local/test environment.
- Change one input and explain the new result.
Expected output/result
You should see a small result that demonstrates Loop Best Practices. Exact formatting can differ by runtime, client, database state, operating system, or tool version.
Common mistakes
Watch for invalid input, unchecked errors, incorrect type assumptions, missing cleanup, unsafe permissions, injection risks, or code/query logic that handles only the happy path.
Practice exercise
Rebuild this example with your own data. Add one edge case, predict the result before running it, and explain why the final result is correct.
