Lesson 2.12 Loop-and-a-Half

Description

In this lesson, students will explore the concept of the “loop-and-a-half” in Java programming, which involves using a while loop with a break statement to handle specific conditions. They will practice implementing and comparing loop-and-a-half constructs with traditional while loops through examples and exercises. The goal is to understand the efficiency and application of different looping techniques in programming.


Objective

Students will be able to:

  • Understand and implement the loop-and-a-half structure in Java
  • Compare the efficiency of loop-and-a-half versus traditional while loops
  • Apply the loop-and-a-half concept to solve practical programming problems
