Lära Do-While and For-In Loops | Loops and Iteration Patterns

Understanding how to control the flow of your program is essential, and Dart provides different types of loops for different scenarios. The do-while loop is unique because it guarantees that its body will execute at least once, regardless of the condition. This is especially useful when you need to perform an action before checking a condition, such as prompting for user input. On the other hand, the for-in loop offers a concise way to iterate over elements in a collection, such as a list or set, making it ideal for processing each item without worrying about indexes or loop counters.

do_while_input.dart


              1234567891011
            
import 'dart:io';

void main() {
  int? number;
  do {
    stdout.write('Enter a positive number: ');
    String? input = stdin.readLineSync();
    number = int.tryParse(input ?? '');
  } while (number == null || number <= 0);
  print('You entered: $number');
}

The structure of a do-while loop starts with the do keyword, followed by a block of code that always executes at least once. After the block, the while keyword and a condition follow. The loop repeats as long as the condition remains true. This pattern is particularly useful for input validation, as you saw in the previous example: you prompt the user, check the input, and repeat until a valid number is entered. The guarantee that the prompt appears at least once is what sets do-while apart from other loops.

for_in_list.dart


              123456
            
void main() {
  List<String> fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry'];
  for (var fruit in fruits) {
    print(fruit);
  }
}

The for-in loop shines when you want to process every element in a collection. Its straightforward syntax improves readability and eliminates the need for manual index management. As the previous list printing example shows, you simply declare a variable to represent each element and let Dart handle the iteration. This approach leads to cleaner, more maintainable code, especially when working with lists, sets, or other iterable objects.
