Visual Basic (VB) For Loop
Visual Basic (VB) For Loop
In Visual Basic, For loop is useful to execute a statement or a group of statements repeatedly until the defined condition returns true.
Generally, For loop is useful in Visual Basic applications to iterate and execute a certain block of statements repeatedly until the specified number of times.
Visual Basic For Loop Syntax
Following is the syntax of defining the For loop in Visual Basic programming language.
// Statements to Execute
Next
If you observe the above syntax, we defined For loop with different parameters. Here, the variable parameter is require in the For statement, and it must be numeric. The Data Type is optional, and it is useful to define the data type for the variable. The start and end parameters are required to define the initial and final value of a variable.
Visual Basic For Loop Flowchart Diagram
Following is the pictorial representation of For loop process flow diagram in Visual Basic programming language.
Now, we will see how to use For loop in Visual Basic programming language with examples.
Visual Basic For Loop Example
Following is the example of using For loop in Visual Basic programming language to iterate or loop through a particular list of statements.
Sub Main()
For i As Integer = 1 To 4
Console.WriteLine("i value: {0}", i)
Next
Console.WriteLine("Press Enter Key to Exit..")
Console.ReadLine()
End Sub
End Module
If you observe the above code, we defined a For loop to iterate over 4 times to print the value of variable i and following are the main parts of For loop.
When we execute the above Visual Basic program, we will get the result as shown below.
If you observe the above result, For loop was executed four times and printed the variable i value four times.
Visual Basic For Loop with Exit Statement
In Visual Basic, using the Exit keyword, we can stop the execution of the For loop statement based on our requirements.
Following is the example of stopping the execution of For loop using Exit statement.
Sub Main()
For i As Integer = 1 To 4
If i = 3 Then Exit For
Console.WriteLine("i value: {0}", i)
Next
Console.WriteLine("Press Enter Key to Exit..")
Console.ReadLine()
End Sub
End Module
If you observe the above code, we used Exit statement to exit from For loop whenever the variable i value equals to 3.
When we execute the above Visual Basic program, we will get the result as shown below.
If you observe the above result, whenever the variable i value equals 3, the For loop execution automatically stops.
This is how we can use Exit statement in For loop to terminate the execution of For loop based on our requirements.
Visual Basic Nested For Loop
In visual basic, we can create one For loop within another For loop based on our requirements. Following is the example of creating a nested For loop in Visual Basic.
Sub Main()
For i As Integer = 1 To 4
For j As Integer = i To 3 - 1
Console.WriteLine("i value: {0}, j value: {1}", i, j)
Next
Next
Console.WriteLine("Press Enter Key to Exit..")
Console.ReadLine()
End Sub
End Module
If you observe the above example, we created a For loop within another loop and printing the values based on our requirements.
When we execute the above Visual Basic program, we will get the result as shown below.
This is how we can create the nested For loops in our Visual Basic programming language based on our requirements.
