    C Looping Statement

    Uploaded by

    Princess Dianne
    Looping statements in C programming allow blocks of code to be repeatedly executed. There are three types of loops: while, for, and do-while. The while loop checks a condition before each iteration. The for loop is used when the number of iterations is known. The do-while loop checks the condition after executing the block of code at least once. Loops help reduce code length and memory usage by executing blocks of code repeatedly through iteration.

    LOOPING STATEMENT

    Looping statement are the statements execute one or more statement


    repeatedly several number of times. In C programming language there are
    three types of loops; while, for and do-while.

    WhY TO use loop ?

    When you need to execute a block of code several number of times then you
    need to use looping concept in C language.

    ADVANTAGE WITH LOOPING STATEMENT

     Reduce length of Code

     Take less memory space.

     Burden on the developer is reducing.

     Time consuming process to execute the program is reduced.

    The sequence of statements to be executed is kept inside the curly braces {


    } known as the Loop body. After every execution of the loop body, condition is
    verified, and if it is found to be true the loop body is executed again. When the
    condition check returns false, the loop body is not executed, and execution
    breaks out of the loop.

    TYPES OF LOOPING STATEMENT


    There are 3 types of Loop in C language, namely:

    1. while loop
    2. for loop
    3. do while loop
    WHILE LOOP
    while loop can be addressed as an entry control loop. It is completed in 3 steps.

     Variable initialization.(e.g int x = 0;)


     condition(e.g while(x <= 10))
     Variable increment or decrement ( x++ or x-- or x = x + 2 )

    Syntax :

    variable initialization;

    while(condition)

    statements;

    variable increment or decrement;

    #include<stdio.h>

    main( )

    int x;

    x = 1;

    while(x <= 10)

    printf("%d\t", x);

    /* below statement means, do x = x+1, increment x by 1*/

    x++;

    getche();

    }
    FOR LOOP
    for loop is used to execute a set of statements repeatedly until a particular
    condition is satisfied. We can say it is an open ended loop..
    SYNTAX:

    for(initialization; condition; increment/decrement)


    {
    statement-block;
    }

    In for loop we have exactly two semicolons, one after initialization and second
    after the condition. In this loop we can have more than one initialization or
    increment/decrement, separated using comma operator. But it can have only
    one condition.
    The for loop is executed as follows:

    1. It first evaluates the initialization code.


    2. Then it checks the condition expression.
    3. If it is true, it executes the for-loop body.
    4. Then it evaluate the increment/decrement condition and again follows
    from step 2.
    5. When the condition expression becomes false, it exits the loop.
    NESTED FOR LOOP
    We can also have nested for loops, means one for loop inside another for loop.
    Basic syntax is,

    for(initialization; condition; increment/decrement)

    for(initialization; condition; increment/decrement)

    statement ;

    DO WHILE loop
    In some situations it is necessary to execute body of the loop before testing the
    condition. Such situations can be handled with the help of do-
    while loop. do statement evaluates the body of the loop first and at the end,
    the condition is checked using while statement. It means that the body of the
    loop will be executed at least once, even though the starting condition
    inside while is initialized to be false.
    SYNTAX:
    do
    {
    <statement/s>;
    .....
    }
    while(condition)
    Example: Program to print first 10 multiples of 5.

    #include<stdio.h>

    main()

    int a, i;

    a = 5;

    i = 1;

    do

    printf("%d\t", a*i);

    i++;

    while(i <= 10);

    getche();
    }

    Output:
    5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50
