nested

A loop inside another loop is called a _____loop

infinite or endless loop

A loop that does not have a way of stopping

posttest loop

A loop that evaluates its test expression after each repetition

pretest loop

A loop that evaluates its test expression before each repetition

sentinel

A special value that marks the end of a series of values

running total

A sum of numbers that accumulates with each iteration loop

counter

A variable that counts the number of times a loop repeats

accumulator

A variable that is initialized to some starting value, usually zero, and then has numbers added to it in each iteration of a loop

iteration

Each repetition of a loop

initialization, test, update

For loops: first expression, second expression and third expression

postfix mode

The increment or decrement operator is place after the operand or to the right

prefix mode

The increment or decrement operator is placed before the operand or to the right

body

The statement or block that is repeated is known as the _ of the loop

while and for loops

These loops will not iterate at all if their test expressions are false to start with

do while loop

This loop always iterates at least once

continue

This statement causes a loop to skip the remaining statements in the current iteration

break

This statement causes a loop to terminate immediately

for loops

This type of loop is ideal for situations that require a counter

decrement

To __ a value a value means to decrease it by one

increment

To __ a value means to increase it by one
