"When writing a loop, there are three essential components: • An initialization statement that specifies how the loop begins • A continuation (or termination ) condition that specifies whether the loop should continue to execute or terminate • An iteration statement that makes progress toward the termination condition The initialization statement is executed before the loop begins and serves as a way to set the loop up. Typically, the initialization statement involves setting the initial value of some variable. The continuation statement is a logical statement (that evaluates to true or false ) that specifies if the loop should continue (if the value is true ) or should terminate (if the value is false ). Upon termination, code returns to a sequential control flow and the program"
