Entry Control Loop
An entry-controlled loop is a type of Loop in computer programming that tests the loop condition at the Loop's beginning before executing the Loop's body.
As the program flow reaches an entry-controlled loop, the loop condition is tested before the first iteration of the Loop.

If the condition meets, then the loop body will be executed. If it does not, the loop body will be skipped entirely, and the program will continue execution from the first statement following the Loop.

After running the loop for required iterations (when the condition is not met), the program exits the loop.

Some popular entry-controlled loops are for Loop, while Loop, etc.

Exit Control Loop
An exit-controlled loop is a type of Loop in computer programming that tests the loop condition at the end of the Loop after executing the body of the Loop at least once.

As the program flow reaches an exit-controlled loop, the loop body is executed first, and then the loop condition is tested.

If the condition is met, the Loop will continue to run, and the body's code will perform again. If it does not, the Loop will exit, and the program will continue execution from the first statement following the Loop.

After running the loop for required iterations (when the condition is not met), the program exits the loop.

Do-while loop is primarily used in the exit-controlled Loop.
