Looping in C - Programming

Looping in C programming allows repeating a block of code multiple times. There are three types of loops - while, do-while, and for. A while loop repeats until a condition is false, a do-while loop repeats at least once and checks the condition after, and a for loop allows initializing/updating a counter variable. Loops are useful for iterating through arrays and simplifying repetitive tasks. Examples demonstrate printing even numbers with a while loop and using a do-while and for loop.

WHAT IS LOOPING IN C-
PROGRAMMING?

 The looping can be defined as repeating the same


process multiple times until a specific condition
Satisfies or is true. The sequence of statements to be
executed is kept inside the curly bracket { }known as
loop body , condition is verified, and if it is found to
be true the loop body is executed again. And when
the condition check false, the loop body is not
executed
3
Why we loop in C-Programming ?
 Looping simplifies the complex problems into the
easy ones.
 Looping enables to alter the flow of the program so

that instead of writing the same code again and


again, we can execute the same code for a finite
number of times.
 For example, if we need to print “UNIVERSITY OF

FOMIC POLYTECHNIC” 15-times then, we can use


the Printf once inside a loop which runs up to 15
iterations.
4
Advantages of looping in C-
Programming
 It provides codes reusability.
 Using loops we do not need to write the same

code again and again.


 Using loops, we can access each elements

stored in the array so that the data can be


checked or used as part of the process. data
structure (array is a series of memory location
which holds a single item of data).
5
Types of C Loops

There are three types of loops in C language those


are given below;
 While

 Do while

 For

6
Essential components of a loop

 Counter
 Initialization of the counter with initial value

 Condition to check with the optimum value of the

counter
 Statement(s) to be executed by iteration

 Increment/decrement

While loop in C
 The while loop in c is to be used in the scenario where
the block of statements is executed in the while loop until
the condition specified in the while loop is satisfied. It is also
called a pre-tested loop.
 The syntax of while loop in c language is given below:
initialization;
While(condition)
{
block of the statements to be executed ;
increment;
8
}
Do-while loop in C
 The do-while loop continues until a given condition
satisfies. It is also called post tested loop. It is used when it is
necessary to execute the loop at least once(mostly menu
driven programs).
 The syntax of do-while loop in c language is given below;

do
{
code to be executed ;
}
9 While(condition);
For loop in C
• The for loop in C language is used to iterate the
statements or a part of the program several times. It
is frequently used to traverse the data structures like
the array and linked list.
• The syntax of for loop in c language is given below:
for(expression 1; Expression 2; Expression 3)
{
codes to be executed;
}
10
 Expression 1 (Optional)
• Represents the initialization of the loop variable.
• More than one variable can be initialized.
 Expression 2

• Expression 2 is a conditional expression. It checks for a


specific condition to be satisfied. If it is not, the loop is
terminated.
• Expression 2 can have more than one condition. However,
the loop will iterate until the last condition becomes false .
Other conditions will be treated as statements.
 Expression 3

• Expression 3 is increment or decrement to update


the value
11 of the loop variable
 Flowchart : For the or loop

Example of While loop print even numbers
1. //print even numbers
2. #include<stdio.h>
3. int main ( )
4. {
5. int n, i=0;

6. printf (“/n Enter a number : “) ;

{
7. scanf(“ % d” ,&n);

8. while ( i < = n )
9. {

10. if ( i % 2= =0)
11. printf (“/n%d” , i ) ;

12. i + +;
13. }

14. return 0
