actually they both can be used to perform the very same task, but for a learner (it was my experience when i started learning loops) it was easy to understand while loop and thats the only advantage while loop has

The answer is --> I'll use whichever loop I'll find most suitable in my current problem. That's the whole game, isn't it ?

Typically, you would want to use a for loop when you have a determinate number of iterations and a while loop when you have an indeterminate number of iterations. For example, if you’re iterating through an array, you should usually know how many times you’ll loop. If you’re reading through a file, you don’t necessarily know when the reading should end - you would stop at the point of reaching EOF.

hi, for and while loops are the most generous loops. for statements takes the shorter path while, while loops takes the longer road to comply. so , my friends regards to the program we are creating shorter roads are more interesting than longer one. ! HAPPY CODDING !

If I have to drive my vehicle for 5kms ,I'll choose for loop and if I have to drive my vehicle until I'm out of fuel, I'll use while loop.. hope you get that
