C# – Looping with the For Iteration Statement

If you ever in Visual Studio, write down ‘for’ and tip two times ‘tab’ on keyboard, you will be seeing that for Iteration statement would be created for you.

for(int i=0; i <10; i++){

  //your code

}

i – any variable name

1st part – counter declaration, can be initialized to any number

2nd part – condition, can be any expression that equates to a bool

3nd part – increment i++ / decrement i–, can step more than i using +=.

string[] names = new string[]{"John", "Paul", "Josh"};

for(int i = 0; i<names.Length; i++){

//can search for a specific value

if(names[i] == "Josh"){
//do something here
// can break out additional iterations if need to
break;
}
}
