Answer 3

In while you check one condition everytime. In for loop you increase a variable each loop(it's optional. You can do anything) and check the condition. For acts exactly in same way as while and they are interchangeable but for is enhanced and optimized for some specific loops.

Answer 4

technically, they do the same thing, but in different situations it's more convenient to use 'while' or 'for'. for example, 'while' can be used when the number of iterations is unknown and the code must loop until the condition is true

Answer 5

While loop is executed , until a given condition is satisfied ,then it will terminate .whereas for loop

Answer 6

is used for initialization, condition for specified no of times and increment
