1Z0-811 Control Flow and Loops Practice Question

Answer choices
Why each option matters

✓
while loop
The correct answers are A (while loop), B (for loop), and E (do-while loop) because all three are valid loop constructs in Java. The while loop repeats as long as a condition is true, the for loop provides a compact iteration mechanism, and the do-while loop guarantees at least one execution.
