Check out the new article: From Basic to Intermediate: WHILE and DO WHILE Statements.
In this article, we will take a practical and very visual look at the first loop statement. Although many beginners feel intimidated when faced with the task of creating loops, knowing how to do it correctly and safely can only come with experience and practice. But who knows, maybe I can reduce your troubles and suffering by showing you the main issues and precautions to take when using loops in your code.
Many programmers have an outright fear of creating loops in their code. Others avoid them as much as possible and only use them when there is no other way. But why is there so much fear of using loops? The reason is simple: loops inherently involve risk. Every time you enter one, you become dependent on your code's execution, requiring a specific condition to properly terminate the loop when needed. Otherwise, a loop may enter an infinite cycle without you realizing it, leading you to mistakenly believe that the computer is simply taking too long to process something, when, in fact, the code has become trapped in an endless loop.
Another reason why many developers fear loops is that analyzing what happens within them can be quite difficult. This is because, in real-world applications, loops often need to execute thousands or even millions of times before completing. Depending on the type of computation being performed, this can take hours before delivering a final result.
