Intro To For Loop

Introduction to For Loops in C++


• A "for loop" is a loop structure in C++ used to repeat code execution.
• C++ for loops are structured for control and efficiency.
• C++ uses for loops to simplify repetitive tasks and enhance readability.
• The loop works by iterating through a specified range or count.
• Ideal for tasks where the number of iterations is predetermined.
• Each iteration can alter variables or execute different code based on
conditions.
• C++ for loops are essential in handling arrays, algorithms, and counting
tasks.
Basic Structure of a For Loop in C++
• For loop in C++ consists of three parts: initialization, condition,
and increment.
• Syntax: `for (initialization; condition; increment)`.
• Example: `for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { cout << i; }`.
• Initialization is done once, setting the starting point.
• Condition is checked before each loop cycle; if false, loop ends.
• Increment modifies the loop variable after each iteration.
• Commonly used in tasks where loop iterations are predefined.
For Loop Control Statements (Break and
Continue)
• C++ provides `break` and `continue` to control for loop
execution.
• `break` exits the loop immediately, skipping remaining iterations.
• `continue` skips the current iteration and moves to the next one.
• Useful when specific conditions affect the loop’s execution.
• Example: `if (i == 2) continue;` skips printing when `i` is 2.
• `break` and `continue` improve efficiency by controlling flow.
• Careful use can make loops more responsive to runtime
conditions
For Loops with Arrays and Strings
• For loops are ideal for iterating over arrays and strings in C++.
• Allows processing each element in a collection directly.
• Example: `int arr[3] = {10, 20, 30}; for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) { cout <<
arr[i] << " "; }`.
• Efficiently processes arrays, lists, or string characters.
• Each iteration accesses the next element by index.
• Simplifies data manipulation within collections in C++.
• Essential in algorithms and data management within arrays.
Pros and Cons of Using For Loops in C++
• Reduces repetitive code, making programs shorter and cleaner.
• Efficient in handling tasks with predetermined iteration counts.
• Enhances readability when structured properly.
• Provides precise control over iteration variables.
• Supports nested loops for complex data structures.
• Easily integrates `break` and `continue` for flexible flow control.
• Suitable for mathematical calculations and data processing.
Pros and Cons of Using For Loops in C++
• Increases complexity when deeply nested, impacting readability.
• May lead to infinite loops if conditions aren’t well-defined.
• Can become inefficient for tasks without known iteration counts.
• More complex to debug when misused in nested structures
• Improper handling of index variables can cause array overflow.
• Limited flexibility for tasks needing non-linear iteration.
• Requires careful handling in memory-constrained applications.
Program 1: Simple Counting Loop- Increment
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++)
{ cout << i << " ";
}
return 0;
}
Program 2: Simple Counting Loop- Decrement
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
Int main()
{
for (int i = 5; i <= 1; i--)
{ cout << i << " "; }
return 0;
}
ODD Numbers
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
for (int i = 1; i <= 9; i += 2)
{
cout << i;
if (i < 9) {
cout << "-";
}
}
return 0;
Even Numbers
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
for (int i = 2; i <= 10; i += 2)
{
cout << i;
if (i < 9) {
cout << ""<<endl;
}
}
return 0;
Table Using For Loop
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int num = 3; // The number for which we want the table
for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
{
cout << num << " x " << i << " = " << num * i << endl;
}
return 0;
}
