bookFor Loop Use Cases

It's true that the primary purpose of a for loop is to iterate a predetermined number of times, it's important to note that these loops serve a broader range of applications and they are, in fact, the most frequently used type of loops in programming. Some of their use cases include:

  • Iterating through arrays and collections;
  • Generating sequences of numbers;
  • Implementing repetitive algorithms;
  • Calculations and simulations.

Let's look at the simple examples of these use cases:

#include <iostream> int main() { int numbers[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; // Static array // Using a for loop to iterate through the static array for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { std::cout << numbers[i] << " "; } }

As you can see they are used for a wide range of applications, from processing data and performing calculations to controlling program flow and handling complex algorithms. So it's important to get good with them. Let's practice!

Task

Calculate the sum of the product of numbers from 10 to 25 using for loop.
