    Loops in C Language

    Loops allow code to be repeatedly executed. There are three types of loops in C: for loops, while loops, and do...while loops. For loops contain an initialization, condition, and increment in the loop header. While loops check a condition before each iteration. Do...while loops check the condition after executing the loop body at least once. Loops are useful for tasks like printing tables or iterating a set number of times.

    Loops in C Language

    Instructor: Engr. M. Amin Qureshi


    Loops
    Why use loops?
    To perform a task repeatedly n number of times or until a
    condition is achieved
    An integer variable is used as a counter to keep the record of
    how many times the loops should repeat
    There are three types of loops in C Language:
    for loop
    while loop
    dowhile loop
    For Loop
    for loop and while loop are similar, just syntax is
    different
    Both can be used for same thing
    Syntax:
    for ( variable initialization ; test condition ; increment )
    for (a = 0 ; a < 10 ; a++)
    The body of the loop will be executed repeatedly until the test
    condition becomes false (a=10 in this case)
    Variable a is used here to keep the count only. We can also
    print this count variable to know which iteration this is
    For Loop
    The three components of a loop (initialization, test,
    increment) are in a single line in the bracket of for
    Each repetition of the loop is called iteration. There will
    be 10 iterations in the for statement shown above
    for loop checks the test condition before executing the
    loop body. The loop body is executed repeatedly if the
    condition remains true
    For Loop Example 1
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <conio.h>

    main()
    {
    int a;
    printf("This program prints the count from 1 to 10.\n");
    for ( a=1 ; a<=10 ; a++)
    printf("%d\n",a);
    getch();
    }
    For Loop Example 1 Output
    In this program, first printf()
    function is only printing a fixed
    string for title purpose only
    The second printf() under
    the for, is printing a variable
    (a) which is of integer type
    (%d) and is incremented in
    each loop iteration
    There are no curly braces {}
    under for-loop because we
    only have one statement in the
    for-loop
    For Loop Task 1
    In the above example we initialized the loop counter
    (a=1) and gave a fixed value to (a<=10) to stop the
    counter after certain number of times
    Now modify this program to take inputs from user to
    initialize the counter and set the test condition value,
    both
    Hints:
    Use two scanf() statements separately
    Declare another variable to input the value of test condition
    For Loop Example 2
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <conio.h>

    main()
    {
    int a,b;
    printf("This program prints the table of 5.\n \n");

    for ( a=1 ; a<=10 ; a++)


    {
    b = 5 * a;
    printf("\t 5 x %3d = %3d\n", a, b);
    }

    getch();
    }
    For Loop Example 2 Output
    This program increments the
    value of a in each iteration
    (repetition) and multiplies it
    with a fixed number 5
    %3d in printf() is similar to
    %d but with a difference that
    the variable printed with
    %3d is printed in 3 spaces.
    The number will be right
    aligned in these three
    spaces
    For Loop Task 2
    Modify the table program so that user must input a
    number for which the table should be generated and
    the maximum value of counter (table multiplier)
    Suppose you want to run the table of 4 till 50, you can
    be able to give these inputs on run-time, then the table
    would be generated
    While Loop
    While is similar to for-loop, functionality wise
    The only difference is its syntax
    You can only put test condition in the brackets of while.
    Initialization should be done before while and increment
    in the body of while
    While Loop
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <conio.h>

    main()
    {
    int a,b;
    printf("This program prints the table of 5.\n \n");
    a=1; //Initialization
    while (a<=100) //test condition
    {
    b = 5 * a;
    printf("\t 5 x %3d = %3d\n", a, b);
    a++; //counter increment
    }

    getch();
    }
    DoWhile Loop
    do..while evaluates the test condition after executing the
    loop body
    If the condition is false at the start of the loop, the dowhile
    loop will still run but only once
    Otherwise, the loop will keep repeating and will exit the body
    when condition becomes false
    for and while loops evaluate their test conditions before the
    start of the loop.
    This means dowhile runs at least once before exiting the
    loop body
