Life is all about Repetition.
We do same thing everyday
What is loop?
Loop is used to execute the block of code several times according to the condition
given in the loop. It means it executes the same code multiple times.
“Hello” 5
Output
printf("Hello\n"); Hello
printf("Hello\n"); Hello loop(condition)
{
printf("Hello\n"); Hello //statements
printf("Hello\n"); Hello }
printf("Hello\n"); Hello
if v/s while

Looping or Iterative Statements in C
Looping Statements are
Entry Controlled Loop: while, for
Exit Controlled Loop: do…while
Virtual Loop: goto
do…while
How do...while loop works?
The body of do...while loop is executed once. Only then, the testExpression is
evaluated.
If testExpression is true, the body of the loop is executed again and testExpression
is evaluated once more.
This process goes on until testExpression becomes false.
If testExpression is false, the loop ends.
do…while Example
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i=0;
do
{
printf("while vs do-while\n");
}
while(i==1);
printf("Out of loop");
}
While loop
While Loop
while is an entry controlled loop
Statements inside the body of while are repeatedly executed till the condition is
true
while is keyword
Syntax
while(condition)
{
// Body of the while
// true part
}
Example print sum of n natural no
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i=1,n,sum=0;
printf("Enter no");
scanf("%d", &n);
while (i <= n)
{
sum = sum+i;
i++;
}
printf("%d ",sum);
return 0;
}

WAP to check given number is perfect or not(while loop)
1 void main(){
2 int i=1,n,sum=0;
3 printf("Enter a number:"); Output
4 scanf("%d",&n); Enter a number:6
5 while(i<n) 1+2+3=6
6 is a perfect number
6 {
7 if(n%i==0)
Output
8 {
9 printf("%d+",i); Enter a number:8
1+2+4+=7
10 sum=sum+i;
8 is not a perfect number
11 }
12 i=i+1;

13 }
14 printf("=%d",sum); Enter a number:496
1+2+4+8+16+31+62+124+248+=496

16 printf("\n%d is a perfect number",n);
17 else
18 printf("\n%d is not a perfect number",n);

for loop
for Loop
for is an entry controlled loop
Statements inside the body of for are repeatedly executed till the condition is true
for is keyword
Syntax
for (initialization; condition; updateStatement)
{
// statements
}
The initialization statement is executed only once.
Then, the condition is evaluated. If the condition is false, the for loop is
terminated.
If the condition is true, statements inside the body of for loop are executed, and
the update statement is updated.
Again the condition is evaluated.

18 }
do while loop
do while Loop
do while is an exit controlled loop.
Statements inside the body of do while are repeatedly executed till the condition
is true.
Do and while are keywords. Syntax
do
{
// statement
}
while (condition);
Loop body will be executed first, and then condition is checked.
If the condition is true, the body of the loop is executed again and the condition is
evaluated.
This process goes on until the condition becomes false.
If the condition is false, the loop ends.
