for loop

[Nazma Panjwani]

Hi,

What does this statement mean....In Java, a while loop cannot have an empty condition but a for loop can. Can you give examples please???


Thanks

Example of a for loop with empty condition:

for ( ; ; ; ) {
//do something
}

That for loop is perfectly acceptable, although it is an infinite loop. However, the following while loop is not valid:

while ( ) {
}

This will not work. You have to have some sort of boolean, or expression that results in a boolean, in the while condition.

This will not work, because there is one ; too many.
