FOR-NEXT loop: It is used when you know the number of iterations in advance. You specify the starting and ending values, and the loop iterates within that range.

WHILE-END loop: It is used when you want to repeat a block of code based on a condition. The loop continues executing as long as the specified condition is true.

In summary, the main difference lies in control:

 

FOR-NEXT is controlled by a counter that increments or decrements a fixed number of times.

WHILE-END is controlled by a condition that can change within the loop.
