Hello to everyone,
I am bit confused on the difference between for(determinate loop) and while loop(indeterminate loop)
what makes it different,as we convert for loop to while loop and vice-versa.
please give a example to clarify it.
Thank you

the main difference is that you can convert any for loop into while but you cant always convert a while loop to a for or its not really worth doing that, that's what i think at least.

Except, in C++ you can, because there is nothing that says a for loop has to be a simple increment.

While loops are used when you're doing an unknown number of iterations and are instead waiting on some condition. For loops are used when you have a known number of iterations you need to do.
