how do you write a for loop in java?
user
a for loop in java is written as follows: 

for (initialization; condition; update) {
    statement(s);
}

the initialization expression initializes the loop; it is executed only once at the start of the loop. the condition is evaluated on each iteration of the loop, and if it is true, the statement(s) are executed; if it is false, the loop terminates. the update expression is evaluated on each iteration, and can be used to update the loop variable.
