In what scenarios would a for loop be less suitable compared to a while loop, especially concerning iterator-based operations?
- When you have a known number of iterations and need to iterate over elements in a collection.
- When the loop termination condition is based on a complex set of criteria that cannot be easily expressed in a for loop's initialization and condition.
- When you want to improve code readability and avoid common programming errors.
- When you want to ensure optimal performance and minimize memory usage.
A for loop is suitable when you have a known number of iterations, but a while loop is more appropriate when the loop termination condition depends on complex criteria that may not be easily expressed in a for loop's initialization and condition. Option 2 correctly identifies this scenario. Option 1 is not entirely accurate as for loops can also iterate over collections. Options 3 and 4 do not directly relate to the suitability of for loops compared to while loops.
