Question by thenachotech1113 · Dec 09, 2014 at 09:32 PM · for-loopframewhile-loop

do for and while loops happen all in one frame?

Hello, i´ve always wondered if the for and while loops went through the whole loop in one frame or it looped once per frame. right now i have no uses for this information but i guess at some point it could be usefull.

All the code located in a function which is called every frame ( such as Update() and OnGUI() ) will be called once a frame, including loops.

For instance, the following script displays the value of i 10 times, every frame:

 void Update(){
     for(int i=0; i<10; i++){
         Debug.Log(i+"\n");
     }
 }

The result of running the game, using this script, during 2 frames will be:

 0
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
 0
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9

Note: Coroutines are an exception for this rule.

Coroutines are the obvious exception to this rule. Coroutines are designed to allow code (including loops) to be executed across multiple frames.
