Like @code learner said, if you know, or ask user, how many times you need to do something it's best to use for, like working with array. While is better when you need a certain condition to end the loop, like until user says "NO". In your example both are ok, but try checking them both and see which one takes you less time and is shorter. Also try running them in a program that shows you the compilation(?) time.

You can use for loop or while loop for printing 1 - 10 but my suggestion is for loop

because for loop is used when we know how many times to iterate (directly or indirectly) ,here you want to print 1-10 numbers that means you know , you need 10 iterations
