A traditional for loop repeats a code block using three header parts: an initialization statement, an exit condition, and an increment statement. Apex always runs those parts in the same order: initialize, then check the exit condition, run the body, increment, and check again until the exit condition is false. Apex also has list or set iteration for loops and SOQL for loops, which do not use this init, exit-condition, and increment sequence.
