Introduction to Loops
A loop in Dart is a programming construct that allows you to repeatedly execute a code block until a specific condition is met.
Loops are used to automate repetitive tasks, work with data collections, or perform a specific operation a certain number of times. Loops are essential to programming and enable you to efficiently and systematically handle repetitive tasks.
There are several types of loops, each suited for a specific task. In the next chapters, you’ll learn when and how to use each one.
Let's say you have a code fragment that needs to be executed ten times. There are two ways to achieve this:
- Copy and paste the code many times;
- Use a loop.
Consider an example code to see the first approach to solving the task.
main.dart
123456789101112void main() { print("Programming is interesting"); print("Programming is interesting"); print("Programming is interesting"); print("Programming is interesting"); print("Programming is interesting"); print("Programming is interesting"); print("Programming is interesting"); print("Programming is interesting"); print("Programming is interesting"); print("Programming is interesting"); }
As you can see, you have completed the task and displayed the text on the screen ten times. But what if the task is to display the text on the screen a thousand times or even a million times? In such cases, you can use a for loop:
main.dart
12345void main() { for(int i = 0; i < 10; i=i+1){ print("Programming is interesting"); } }
As you can see, with just three lines of code, you displayed the information on the screen ten times.
