This section is executed only once. When the program's control encounters a for loop, the initialization section is triggered. # allows one or more of the following statements in the initializer section of the for loop, separated by a comma:

• Declaration of the local loop variable. This is not available outside of the loop.
• An assignment statement.
• Method invocation.
• Pre/post increment or decrement.
• New object creation.
• Await expression. We will look at this in more detail in the upcoming chapters.
