Cs112 - Programming Fundamental: Lecture # 20 - Iterative Control in C Syed Shahrooz Shamim

The document discusses different types of loops in C programming including for loops, while loops, nested loops, and how to use break and continue statements to control loop execution. It provides examples of calculating factorials using for loops and printing patterns using nested loops. The key aspects of for loops like initialization, condition, and condition update are explained and for loops are compared with while loops.

CS112 - PROGRAMMING FUNDAMENTAL

Lecture # 20 – Iterative Control in C


Syed Shahrooz Shamim
Junior Lecturer,
CS Department, UIT
For Loop
The general format for a for loop

1 2 3
for (Initialization_action; Condition; Condition_update)
{
statement_list;
}

Factorial of n is n(n-1)(n-2)...21
int n,f=1;
scanf(“%d”,&n);

for (i=2; i<=n; i++)


{
f *= i;
}

Printf(“The factorial of %d is %f”, n, f);


Compare: for and while

1 2 3
for (Initialization_action; Condition; Condition_update)
{
statement_list;
}

i=2;
while (i<=n)
int n,f=1; {
scanf(“%d”,&n); f *= i;
i++;
for (i=2; i<=n; i++) }
{
f *= i;
}

Printf(“The factorial of %d is %f”, n, f);


Compare: for and while

int n,i; int n,i;

n = 100; n = 100;
i = 1;

for (i=1; i <= n; i++) v.s. while (i <= n)


{ {
statement_list; statement_list;
} i++;
}
Break in a for loop
The break statement in a for loop will force the program to jump
out of the for loop immediately.

The continue statement in a for loop will force the program to


update the loop condition and then check the condition immediately.

for (Initialization_action; Condition; Condition_update)


{
statement_list;
}
Nested loops (loop in loop)

Scanf(“%d”,&a);
Scanf(“%d”,&b);
for (int i = 0; i < a; i++)
{
for (int j=0; j<b; j++)
{
printf(“*”);
}
printf(“\n”); b
}
*************
a *************
*************
*************
Nested loops (loop in loop)
int a,b;
Scanf(“%d”,&a);
Scanf(“%d”,&b);

for (int i = 0; i < a; i++)


{
for (int j=0; j<b; j++)
{
if (j > i)
b
break;
printf(“*”); *
}
printf(“\n”); a **

Nested loops (loop in loop)
int a,b;
Scanf(“%d”,&a); if (j > i) break;
Scanf(“%d”,&b);

for (int i = 0; i < a; i++)

{
if (j < i) b
printf(“ ”);
