# Lua Nested Loops
[ Lua Loops](#)
The Lua programming language allows loops to be nested within loops. The following examples demonstrate the application of nested loops in Lua.
### Syntax
The syntax for nested **for** loops in the Lua programming language:
for init,max/min value, increment do for init,max/min value, increment do statements end statements end
The syntax for nested **while** loops in the Lua programming language:
while(condition)do while(condition) do statements end statements end
The syntax for nested **repeat...until** loops in the Lua programming language:
repeat statements repeat statements until( condition )until( condition )
In addition to nesting loops of the same type, we can also nest different loop types, such as nesting a while loop inside a for loop body.
### Example
The following example uses nested for loops:
## Example
j =2
for i=2,10 do
for j=2,(i/j),2 do
if(not(i%j))
then
break
end
if(j >(i/j))then
print("i The value is:",i)
end
end
end
The result of executing the above code is:
i The value is:8 i The value is:9 i The value is:10
