+% Loops
+
+Rust currently provides three approaches to performing some kind of iterative activity. They are: `loop`, `while` and `for`. Each approach has its own set of uses.
+
+## loop
+
+The infinite `loop` is the simplest form of loop available in Rust. Using the keyword `loop`, Rust provides a way to loop indefinitely until some terminating statement is reached. Rust's infinite `loop`s look like this:
+
+```rust,ignore
+loop {
+    println!("Loop forever!");
+}
+```
+
+## while
+
+Rust also has a `while` loop. It looks like this:
+
+```rust
+let mut x = 5; // mut x: i32
+let mut done = false; // mut done: bool
+
+while !done {
+    x += x - 3;
+
+    println!("{}", x);
+
+    if x % 5 == 0 {
+        done = true;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+`while` loops are the correct choice when you’re not sure how many times
+you need to loop.
+
+If you need an infinite loop, you may be tempted to write this:
+
+```rust,ignore
+while true {
+```
+
+However, `loop` is far better suited to handle this case:
+
+```rust,ignore
+loop {
+```
+
+Rust’s control-flow analysis treats this construct differently than a `while
+true`, since we know that it will always loop. In general, the more information
+we can give to the compiler, the better it can do with safety and code
+generation, so you should always prefer `loop` when you plan to loop
+infinitely.
+
+## for
+
+The `for` loop is used to loop a particular number of times. Rust’s `for` loops
+work a bit differently than in other systems languages, however. Rust’s `for`
+loop doesn’t look like this “C-style” `for` loop:
+
+```c
+for (x = 0; x < 10; x++) {
+    printf( "%d\n", x );
+}

+

+    println!("{}", x); // x: i32

+```
+
+Outputs:
+
+```text
+0: Content of line one
+1: Content of line two
+2: Content of line tree
+3: Content of line four
+```
+
+## Ending iteration early
+
+Let’s take a look at that `while` loop we had earlier:
+
+```rust
+let mut x = 5;
+let mut done = false;
+
+while !done {
+    x += x - 3;
+
+    println!("{}", x);
+
+    if x % 5 == 0 {
+        done = true;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+We had to keep a dedicated `mut` boolean variable binding, `done`, to know
+when we should exit out of the loop. Rust has two keywords to help us with
+modifying iteration: `break` and `continue`.
+
+In this case, we can write the loop in a better way with `break`:
+
+```rust
+let mut x = 5;
+
+loop {
+    x += x - 3;
+
+    println!("{}", x);
+
+    if x % 5 == 0 { break; }
+}
+```
+
+We now loop forever with `loop` and use `break` to break out early. Issuing an explicit `return` statement will also serve to terminate the loop early.
+
+`continue` is similar, but instead of ending the loop, goes to the next
+iteration. This will only print the odd numbers:
+
+```rust
+for x in 0..10 {
+    if x % 2 == 0 { continue; }
+
+    println!("{}", x);
+}
+```
+
+## Loop labels
+
+You may also encounter situations where you have nested loops and need to
+specify which one your `break` or `continue` statement is for. Like most
+other languages, by default a `break` or `continue` will apply to innermost
+loop. In a sitation where you would like to a `break` or `continue` for one
+of the outer loops, you can use labels to specify which loop the `break` or
+ `continue` statement applies to. This will only print when both `x` and `y` are
+ odd:
+
+```rust
+'outer: for x in 0..10 {
+    'inner: for y in 0..10 {
+        if x % 2 == 0 { continue 'outer; } // continues the loop over x
+        if y % 2 == 0 { continue 'inner; } // continues the loop over y
+        println!("x: {}, y: {}", x, y);
+    }
+}
+```
