Programming Fundamentals: C++ For Loop

The document discusses for loops in C++. It explains that for loops repeat a block of code until a test expression is false. The syntax of a for loop includes an initialization statement, test expression, and update statement. It provides an example of a for loop that calculates the factorial of a user-entered number, walking through how the loop variables and calculation are updated on each iteration until the test expression becomes false.

C++ for Loop
Loops are used in programming to repeat a specific block of code.

Loops are used in programming to repeat a specific block until some end

condition is met.

There are three type of loops in C++ programming:

 for loop

 while loop

 do...while loop

where, only testExpression is mandatory.

How for loop works?

• The initialization statement is executed only once at the beginning.

11/10/2019
• Then, the test expression is evaluated.

• If the test expression is false, for loop is terminated. But if the test

expression is true, codes inside body of for loop is executed and update

expression is updated.

• Again, the test expression is evaluated and this process repeats until

the test expression is false.

Example 1: C++ for Loop
// C++ Program to find factorial of a number
// Factorial on n = 1*2*3*...*n

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()

{
int i, n, factorial = 1;
cout << "Enter a positive integer: ";
cin >> n;
for (i = 1; i <= n; ++i) {
factorial *= i; // factorial = factorial * i;
}
cout<< "Factorial of "<<n<<" = "<<factorial;
return 0;
}

Output

Factorial of 5 = 120
Enter a positive integer: 5

In the program, user is asked to enter a positive integer which is stored in

variable n(suppose user entered 5). Here is the working of for loop:

11/10/2019
1. Initially, i is equal to 1, test expression is true, factorial becomes 1.

2. i is updated to 2, test expression is true, factorial becomes 2.

3. i is updated to 3, test expression is true, factorial becomes 6.

4. i is updated to 4, test expression is true, factorial becomes 24.

5. i is updated to 5, test expression is true, factorial becomes 120.

6. i is updated to 6, test expression is false, for loop is terminated.
