For Loop: - The Most Popular Looping Instruction - The For Loop Allows Us To Specify Three Things in A Single Line

The for loop allows programmers to specify initialization, condition, and increment/decrement in a single line to iterate over a block of code a specified number of times. It initializes a counter variable, tests a condition on each loop, and increments/decrements the counter. The break statement exits the current loop, while continue skips remaining code in the current loop iteration. The do-while loop ensures its block runs at least once before checking its condition, differing from a regular while loop which may not run if the condition is false.

for loop

• The most popular looping instruction


• The for loop allows us to specify three things in a
single line
1. Initialization:
• Setting a loop counter to an initial value
2. Condition:
• Testing loop counter to check whether it reaches the desired
number of repetitions
3. Increment / decrement part:
• Increase or decrease the value of loop counter each
time when the statement within the loop are
executed
1
General form of for loop
;
for ( initialization ;
condition ) Incr/ decr
{
do this;
and this;
and this;
}

Incr/ decr stands for increment/ decrement

Sequence of execution of for loop

) Incr/ decr
{
3 do this;
6 and this;
and this;
}

• It is important to note that the initialization,
testing and increment part of a for loop can be
replaced by any valid expression.

Nested for loop
/* Demonstration of nested loops */
main( )
{
int r, c, sum ;
for ( r = 1 ; r <= 3 ; r++ ) /* outer loop */
{
for ( c = 1 ; c <= 2 ; c++ ) /* inner loop */
{
sum = r + c ;
printf ( "r = %d c = %d sum = %d\n", r, c, sum ) ;
}
}
}

Example program 1
• Write a program to find
the factorial value of any
number entered through
the keyboard.

9
Example program 2
• Write a program that displays the table of x up
to y. The value of x and y is input by the user.
e.g. x = 4 and y = 5
4x1=4
4x2=8
4 x 3 = 12
4 x 4 = 16
4 x 5 = 20

10
The break Statement
• There are situations where we want to jump out of a
loop instantly, without waiting to get back to the
conditional test.
• The keyword break allows us to do this
• When break is encountered inside any loop, control
automatically passes to the first statement after the
loop.
• A break is usually associated with an if.
• The keyword break, breaks the control only from the
loop in which it is placed

11
Cont.
• Example: Write a program to determine
whether a number is prime or not. A prime
number is one, which is divisible only by 1 or
itself.

break statement in nested loop
main( )
{
int i = 1 , j = 1 ;
while ( i++ <= 100 )
{
while ( j++ <= 200 )
{
if ( j == 150 )
break ;
else
printf ( "%d %d\n", i, j ) ;
}
}
}
13
The continue Statement
• continue statement allows to take the control
to the beginning of the loop, bypassing the
statements inside the loop, which have not yet
been executed
• A continue is usually associated with an if.

14
The do-while Loop
• Post test repetition structure
• The statement in the loop block are executed
at least once, whether the loops condition is
true or false
do
{
this ;
and this ;
and this ;
} while ( this condition is true ) ;
