Nested Loop

Nested loops allow looping statements to be nested inside other loops. There is no limit to the level of nesting in C. Nested loops are useful for printing patterns. Examples shown include nested for loops to print triangles and numbers. The outer loop controls the rows while the inner loop controls the columns or characters to print at each iteration. Proper use of loops and printing newlines allows generating different patterns from the same nested loop logic.

Nested Loop
 Just like nested if else C allows the looping of statements inside another loop
 There is no restriction for defining any number of loops. The nesting level
can be defined at n times.

 Example :
Outer_loop {
//outer loop statements…
Inner_loop {
// inner loop statements.
}
// outer loop statements.
}
Nested for loop Syntax
for(initialization; condition; update loop variable) {
// statement 1
………………………….

for(initialization; condition; update loop variable) {


// Inner loop statements
}
// statement n
}
Nested while loop Syntax
while(condition)
{
//outer loop statements.
while(condition)
{
// inner loop statements.
}
// outer loop statements.
}
Nested do…while loop Syntax
do {
// statements

do {
// Inner loop statements
}while(condition);

// statements

}while(condition);
Nested for loop Syntax
for(outVariable initialization ; condition; update outVariable) {
// statement 1
………………………….
outer
loop

for(inVariable initialization; condition; update inVariable) {


Inner
loop

// Inner loop statements


}
// statement n
}
Nested for loop Example

for(i=1 ; i<=3 ; i++){ Sample Output


printf(“*”);
***
}
Nested for loop Example
Desired Output
for(i=1 ; i<=3 ; i++){
***
for(j=1 ; j<=3; j++){ ***
printf(“*”); ***
}
Output for this code

*********
}
How can we solve?
Outer loop indicates/defines the row
Where should we put the "\n”?
Inner loop indicated/defines the column
Nested for loop Example
Sample Output
for(i=1 ; i<=3 ; i++){
***
for(j=1 ; j<=3; j++){ ***
printf(“*”); ***
}
printf(“\n”);
}
Outer loop indicates/defines the row
Inner loop indicated/defines the column
Nested for loop Example Code
for(i=1; i<=2; i++) { Outer loop Inner loop
for(j=1; j<=2; j++) { Value of i condition Execution Value of j condition Execution
printf(“i:%d, j:%d\n”,i,j);
;1 1<=2, True Execute inner loop 1 1<=2,true i:1,j:1
} 2 2<=2,true i:1,j:2
3 3<=2,false
} 2 2<=2,True Execute inner loop 1 1<=2,true i:2,j:1
2 2<=2,true i:2,j:2
3 3<=2,false
3 3<=2,False
Nested for loop Example (printing pattern)
Take input of a number n and print a pattern
for(i=1 ; i<=n ; i++){ Intput: n=3
Sample Output
for(j=1 ; j<=i; j++){ 1
12
printf(“%d”,j); 123
} Input: n=4
printf(“\n”); Sample output
1
} 12
123
1234

Note: CT 2 Syllabus is up to this.


Nested for loop Example 5(printing pattern)
Take input of a number n and print a pattern
for(i=1 ; i<=n ; i++){ Intput: n=3
for(j=0 ; j<i; j++){ Sample Output
3
printf(“%d”,n-j); 32
} 321

printf(“\n”); Input: n=4


} Sample output

432
4321
Nested for loop Example 5 (Alternate Solution)
for(i=1 ; i<=n ; i++){ Take input of a number n and print a pattern
int printvalue=n; Intput: n=3
Sample Output
for(j=0 ; j<i; j++){ 3
printf(“%d”, printvalue); 32
321
printvalue--;
} Input: n=4
printf(“\n”); Sample output
4

Nested for loop Example 6
for(i=1;i<=n;i++){ Take input of a number n and print a pattern
for(j=1; j<=n-i;j++){ Intput: n=3
printf(" "); For printing space Sample Output
}

for(j=1; j<=n-i;j++){ Intput: n=3
printf(" "); For printing space Sample Output
}
