Control Statements

Loops
• Loops can execute a block of code as long as a
specified condition is reached.
• Loops save time, reduce errors, and they make
code more readable.
while loop
• The while loop loops through a block of code
as long as a specified condition is true:
• Syntax
while (condition) {

// code block to be executed

}
Example
int i = 0;

while (i < 5) {
printf("%d\n", i);
i++;
}
do while loop
• The do/while loop is a variant of
the while loop.
• This loop will execute the code block once,
before checking if the condition is true, then it
will repeat the loop as long as the condition is
true.
Example
int i = 0;

do {
printf("%d\n", i);
i++;
}
while (i < 5);
for loop
• The for loop in C Language provides a
functionality/feature to repeat a set of
statements a defined number of times. The for
loop is in itself a form of an entry-controlled
loop.
• Unlike the while loop and do…while loop, the
for loop contains the initialization, condition,
and updating statements as part of its syntax.
Syntax of for loop
for(initialization; check/test expression;
updation)
{
// body consisting of multiple statements
}
Example
int i;

for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)


{
printf("%d\n", i);
}
Nested Loops
• It is also possible to place a loop inside
another loop. This is called a nested loop.
• The "inner loop" will be executed one time for
each iteration of the "outer loop"
Syntax
for ( initialization; condition; increment )
{
for ( initialization; condition; increment )
{
// statement of inside loop
}
// statement of outer loop
}
switch statement
• Switch case statement evaluates a given
expression and based on the evaluated
value(matching a certain condition), it
executes the statements associated with it.
Basically, it is used to perform different
actions based on different conditions(cases).
Syntax
switch(expression)
{
case value1:
statement_1;
break;
case value2:
statement_2;
break;
.
.
.
case value_n:
statement_n;
break;
default:
default_statement;
}
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int var = 1;
switch (var)
{ case 1:
printf("Case 1 is Matched.");
break;
case 2:
printf("Case 2 is Matched.");
break;
case 3:
printf("Case 3 is Matched.");
break;
default:
printf("Default case is Matched.");
break;
}
return 0;
}
break statement
• The break in C is a loop control statement that
breaks out of the loop when encountered.
• It can be used inside loops or switch
statements to bring the control out of the
block.
• The break statement can only break out of a
single loop at a time.
Example
for (int i = 1; i < 5; i++)
{
if (i == 3)
{
break;
}
else
{
printf("%d ", i);
}
}
continue statement in C
• The continue statement in C is used in loops to
skip the current iteration and move on to the
next iteration without executing the
statements below the continue in the loop
body.
Example
for (int i = 1; i <= 7; i++)
{
if (i == 3)
continue;
printf("%d ", i);
}
