Java for Loop evaluation

Question

I want to know if the condition evaluation is executed in for and while loops in Java every time the loop cycle finishes.

Example:

Answer 1

Yes. Specifically, the condition part is executed before each loop body. So it's entirely possible that you never enter the body of the loop at all.

So taking your example:

for(int index = 0;index < tenBig.lenght;index++) {
    /* ...body... */
}

This is the logical (not literal) equivalent:

int index = 0;
while (index < tenBig.length) { // happens on each loop
    /* ...body... */

    index++;
}
