Any Kind of Loop

Although the previous example is a counting loop, the for statement can be used to implement any of the three types of loops. The three parts, initialize, test , and change can be as complicated as you want. Here is a for loop with several statements in the loop body:

int count, sum;

sum = 0;
for ( count = 0;  count <= 5; count++ )
{
  sum = sum + count ;
  System.out.print( count + " " );
}
System.out.println( "/nsum is: " + sum );

Since the loop body consists of several statements, they are enclosed in braces { and } to make a block.
