CSE 103: Computer Programming in C

Lab #5: Repetition Structures – Part II

Objective:
Learn the Repetition Structures by covering the following loops:
1. Do-while statement
2. Nested loops circumference

Task 1: do-while statement

Write Compile & Run the following C program in Dev-C++.
Save the source file in a new folder Lab6 as Lab6/program1.c
/* computing the area and circumference of any circle */
#include<stdio.h>
#define PI 3.142857
int main(void){
double radius , area, cir ;
char ans;
do
{
printf("\nEnter a value for radius: ");
scanf("%lf", &radius);
area = PI * radius * radius ;
cir = 2 * PI * radius ;
printf("The area of a circle with radius %.2lf= %.2lf \n", radius , area);
printf("and the circumference = %.2lf \n", cir);
printf("\nDo you wish to try again [y/n]? ");
scanf(" %c", &ans);
} while (ans == 'Y' || ans == 'y');
printf("\nGood bye!!\n");

return 0;
}
1. Draw the flowchart of the program

Use pen and paper to draw the flowchart then take a photo and attach it here

2. Give a sample Output of the program

3. Run the Debugger on the program several times and write down your observations
regarding do-while statement.
Observations:

4. Rewrite Program1.c using while loop.

Save the source file in a new folder Lab6 as Lab6/program2.c
Note: Program2.c must have the same behaviour (semantec) of Program1.c, i.e, the
loop body must be executed at least once!
/* Program1 using while-loop */
#include<stdio.h>
#define PI 3.142857
int main(void){
double radius , area, cir ;
char ans;
………
………
………
………
………
printf("\nGood bye!!\n");
return 0;
}

Conclusion:
We can use while/for/do-while statements interchangeably provided that we make the
necessary changes to our program!

Task 2: Nested for loops:
Write Compile & Run the following C program in Dev-C++.
Save the source file in as Lab6/program3.c
Compile & Run the C program in Dev-C++.
#include<stdio.h>
int main(void){
int i , j , rows , columns;
rows = 9 ;
columns = 9 ;
for(i = 1 ; i <= rows ; i++){
for(j = 1 ; j <= columns ; j++)
printf("*");
printf("\n");
}

return 0;
}

1. What is the Output of the program?

2. Write down the body of the outer loop

3. Write down the body of the inner loop

4. Run the program with different values for rows , columns and notice the output!

do-while Statement
Do-while can be used in a menu driven program. The example shown below will continue
running as long as the user did not enter the number 5.
#include <stdio.h> // EXAMPLE-3
#include <conio.h>
void menu();
int main()
{
int choice;
do{
menu();
printf("Enter your choice >");
scanf("%d",&choice);
// Here come the statements to do
// the different tasks
} while (choice != 5);
getch();
}

void menu ()
{
printf("1-addition \n");
printf("2-subtraction\n");
printf("3-multiplication\n");
printf("4-division\n");
printf("5-Exit\n");
}
Do-while can also be used to validate an input as indicated in the example below.
#include <stdio.h> // EXAMPLE-4
#include <conio.h>
int main()
{
int n;

do{
printf ("Enter an integer number in [10,100] interval
>");
scanf("%d",&n);
if(n<10 || n>100)
printf("Sorry wrong input, try again\n");
}while (n<10 || n>100);

printf("Now your input is correct");

getch();

}

Nested Loops:
We can have one or more loops defined inside another loop. These are called nested loops. The
example shown below uses a nested loop to compute the sum of integer numbers from 1 to
10.
#include <stdio.h> // EXAMPLE-5
#include <conio.h>
int main()
{
int sum,i,j;
for(i=1;i<=10;i++)
{
sum=1;
printf("1");

for(j=2;j<=i;j++)
{
sum=sum+j;
printf("+%d",j);
}

printf("=%d\n",sum);
}
getch();
return 0;
}
