(while, do-while, for loop)

Do you remember?
•Sequencing - putting instructions in the right order
•Repetition - repeating one small task many times

Different types of control structures in
C
• Sequential :default mode. Sequential execution of code statements (one
line after another).
• Selection :used for decisions, branching -- choosing between 2 or more
alternative paths.
• if
• if else
• switch
• Iteration/repetition :used for looping, i.e. repeating a piece of code multiple
times
• while
• do/while
• for

while Loop
The statements within the loop must modify variables
that are used in the condition; otherwise, the value of
the condition will never change and we will never be
able to exit the loop.
NB: An infinite loop is generated if the condition in
a while loop is always true.

Write a program to generate a conversion table for converting degrees to
radians (note that the degree values start at 0°, increment by 10°, and go
through 360°):

Example: Write a C program to determine whether a number is
prime or not.
• A prime number is said to be prime if it is divisible only by 1 or itself.
• Logic: All we have to do to test whether a number is prime or not, is to
divide it successively by all numbers from 2 to one less than itself.
• If remainder of any of these divisions is zero, the number is not a prime.
• If no division yields a zero then the number is a prime number.

# include <stdio.h>
int main( )
{
int num, i ;
printf ( "Enter a number " ) ;
scanf ( "%d", &num ) ;
i=2;
while ( i <= num - 1 )
{
if ( num % i == 0 )
{
printf ( "Not a prime number\n" ) ;
break ;
}
i++ ;
}
if ( i == num )
printf ( "Prime number\n" ) ; 9
Example: Write a Program to compute x to the
power n using while loop.

do…while Loop
• The condition is tested at the end of the loop instead of
at the beginning of the loop.
• The do/while loop is always executed at least once;

Practice Problem 1:
Write a C program to generate a maintenance schedule for a fleet of N
aircraft over a period of twelve months. The program will determine and
display whether each aircraft requires maintenance in each month based on
specific scheduling criteria:
•The maintenance requirements are determined by the following rules:
Even-numbered aircraft require maintenance every 3rd month.
•Odd-numbered aircraft require maintenance every 5th month.
•If an aircraft does not meet the criteria for maintenance, the output
should indicate "No Maintenance".

Practice Problem 2:
Write a C program that simulates the tracking of fuel consumption for N
different aircraft models over a period of seven days. The program should
prompt the user to input the fuel consumption for each aircraft model each
day and display the results. The program also to calculate and display the
average fuel consumption for each model over the week after all data has
been entered.
