1. LAB SESSION LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of the lab session, students should be able :
i.
ii.
iii.

To understand the structure while loop, do-while loop and for loop.
To do modification of program coding and changing parameter of the loop.
To be familiar with program algorithm and applying formula for looping statement.

2. INTRODUCTION / THEORY
2.1 WHILE LOOP
The syntax of a while loop in C++ is:
while(condition)
{
statement(s);
}
Here, statement(s) may be a single statement or a block of statements. The condition may be any
expression, and true is any non-zero value. The loop iterates while the condition is true. When
the condition becomes false, program control passes to the line immediately following the loop.

Base on figure 1, key point of the while loop is that the loop might not ever run. When the
condition is tested and the result is false, the loop body will be skipped and the first statement
after the while loop will be executed. The while loop is an entry-condition loop. If the test
condition is FALSE to begin with, the program never executes the body of the loop.
2.2 DO-WHILE LOOP
Unlike for and while loops, which test the loop condition at the top of the loop, the do-while loop
checks its condition at the bottom of the loop. A do-while loop is similar to a while loop, except
that a do-while loop is guaranteed to execute at least one time. The syntax of a do...while loop in
C++ is:
do
{
statement(s);
}while( condition );
Notice that the conditional expression appears at the end of the loop, so the statement(s) in the
loop execute once before the condition is tested. If the condition is true, the flow of control
jumps back up to do, and the statement(s) in the loop execute again.

Figure 2
Based on Figure 2, this process repeats until the given condition becomes false.

2.3 FOR LOOP

A for loop is a repetition control structure that allows you to efficiently write a loop that needs to
execute a specific number of times. The syntax of a for loop in C++ is:
for ( init; condition; increment )
{
statement(s);
}

Figure 3
Based on Figure 3, the flow of control in a for loop are:
The init step is executed first, and only once. This step allows you to declare and initialize
any loop control variables.
Next, the condition is evaluated. If it is true, the body of the loop is executed. If it is false,
the body of the loop does not execute and jumps to the next statement.
After the body of the for loop executes, the flow of control jumps back up to
the incrementstatement. This statement allows you to update any loop control variables.
This statement can be left blank, as long as a semicolon appears after the condition.
The condition is now evaluated again. If it is true, the loop executes and the process
repeats itself (body of loop, then increment step, and then again condition). After the
condition becomes false, the for loop terminates.
