Learning Objectives: At the end of this lab practice, you should be able to:
 To describe the repetition structures while, for and do-
while used in a program.
 To write C++ programs, that uses while, for and do-
while structures and how it can be convert to switch-
case statement.
 To apply the counter-controlled and sentinel-controlled in a
program.
Total Week 2 weeks

PART A: TUTORIAL

Practice 1: Circle the correct answer for true/false questions below.

a) A section of repeating code is referred to as a loop. [T/F]
b) A do-while loop is referred to as a post-test loop because the loop condition is
tested after the loop body of instructions. [T/F]
c) It is possible that the body of a while loop may not execute at all. [T/F]
d) A sentinel-controlled while loop is a loop whose termination depends on a special
value. [T/F]
e) A repetition is a control structure that causes certain statements to execute over
and over. [T/F]

Program 4: Write a program (starting from #include) that repeatedly collects positive
integers from the user, stopping when the user enters a negative number or zero. After
that, output the largest positive number entered. A sample/example run should appear on
the screen like the text below.
Enter a number: 3
Enter a number: 10
Enter a number: 2
Enter a number: -213
The largest positive number you entered was 10.
