While loop is better or for loop is better, Performance wise. ?

Thanks.

It's not about performance; it's about serving different needs....

Hi,

Sir, if "while loop" is fulfilling our needs, then why there is another "for loop" and why "for loop" isn't obsolete yet?

Thanks..

Did you read the first few articles from the Google link I posted earlier? You'll find explanations such as:

Quote:

A while loop is very much similar to a for loop except that initialization, checking the boolean condition and incrementing the counter value is done at different steps as shown in the below example, otherwise while loop is same as the for loop.

In other words, each loop serves a different need.
