The **`for` loop** is used to execute a block of code a specific number of times. 

First, we will look at why we might need a loop.

We use the following statement to print something:


package main

func main(){
    println("Educative")
}


If we wanted to execute the same statement a thousand times, we wouldn't want to write the `prinln` statement a thousand individual times.
This is where we use a loop.


Go provides us with a `for` loop for looping purposes. Here, we will execute the `println` statement in a loop ten times.

#      
## Syntax
```
for initialization; condition; update {
  statement(s)
}
```


package main

//Program execution starts here
func main(){

  //for loop
  for i:=1; i<=10; i++{
    
    //print statement
    println("Educative")
  }
}

#        
## Explanation
* Line 4: The `main()` function is an entry point of the code and the program starts executing from here.
* Line 7: We use a `for` loop to repeatedly print the statement. Here, we:
  * initialize the variable `i` as `1`.
  * provide the condition `i<=10`, which means that the program will keep executing the loop until this condition is met. When `i` becomes `11`, the loop breaks.
  * provide the condition `i++`, which increments the value of `i` after every execution.
* Line 10: We provide the statement to be looped.
