Loop

The document provides an overview of loop structures in C programming, including for loops, while loops, and do-while loops, with syntax examples for each. It highlights the differences between for and while loops, as well as between while and do-while loops, focusing on initialization, execution, and control flow. The content is aimed at helping learners understand how to implement these loops effectively in programming.

FOR LOOP
A for loop provides a concise way of writing the loop structure.
Unlike a while loop, a for loop declaration consumes the
initialization, condition, and increment/decrement in one line
thereby providing a shorter, easy-to-debug structure of looping.

Syntax
for (initialization condition; testing condition;
increment/decrement)
{
// statement(s)
}
FOR LOOP
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i, sum=0;
2 + 5 + 8 + . . . . . . . . . . . + 98
for(i=2; i<=98; i=i+3)
Find the sum of the above series {
using for loop. sum=sum+i;
}
printf("%d",sum);
}
WHILE LOOP
A while loop is a control flow statement that
allows code to be executed repeatedly based
on a given Boolean condition.
The while loop can be thought of as a
repeating if statement.

Syntax
initialization;
while (boolean condition)
{
// loop statements...
}
WHILE LOOP
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i, ans=1;
3 × 8 × 13 × . . . . . . . . . . . × 98
i=3;
Find the multiplication of the while ( i<=98 )
above series using while loop. {
ans = ans * i;
i=i+5;
}
printf("%d“ ,ans);
}
DO WHILE
do while loop is similar to while loop with the only difference
that it checks for the condition after executing the statements,
and therefore is an example of Exit Control Loop.

Syntax
initialization;
do
{
statements..
}
while (condition);
DO….WHILE LOOP
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i, sum=0;
5 + 30 + 180 + . . . . . . . . . . . + n
i=5;
Find the sum of the above series do{
using do….while loop. sum = sum + i;
i=i*6;
} while ( i <= n );
printf("%d“ ,sum);
}
