For Loop

The document discusses nested if-else statements and for loops in C programming. It provides examples of nested if-else statements to compare two numbers and determine the relationship between them. It also explains the syntax, flow, and examples of for loops, including using a for loop to calculate the sum of the first n natural numbers entered by a user.

Nested if...

else
• It is possible to include an if...else statement inside the body of another if...else statement.
• #include <stdio.h>
• int main() {
• int number1, number2;
• printf("Enter two integers: ");
• scanf("%d %d", &number1, &number2);
•
• if (number1 >= number2) {
• if (number1 == number2) {
• printf("Result: %d = %d",number1,number2);
• }
• else {
• printf("Result: %d > %d", number1, number2);
• }
• }
• else {
• printf("Result: %d < %d",number1, number2);
• }
•
• return 0;
• }
If the body of an if...else statement has only one
statement, you do not need to use brackets {}.

• For example, this code


• if (a > b) {
• printf("Hello");
• }
• printf("Hi");
• is equivalent to
• if (a > b)
• printf("Hello");
• printf("Hi");
C for Loop

• In programming, a loop is used to repeat a


block of code until the specified condition is
met.
• C programming has three types of loops:
• for loop
• while loop
• do...while loop
for Loop

• The syntax of the for loop is:


• for (initializationStatement; testExpression;
updateStatement){ // statements inside the body of loop}
• How for loop works?
• The initialization statement is executed only once.
• Then, the test expression is evaluated. If the test
expression is evaluated to false, the for loop is terminated.
• However, if the test expression is evaluated to true,
statements inside the body of the for loop are executed,
and the update expression is updated.
• Again the test expression is evaluated.
• This process goes on until the test expression is false. When
the test expression is false, the loop terminates.
for loop Flowchart
• Example 1: for loop
• // Print numbers from 1 to 10
• #include <stdio.h>
• int main()
• { int i;
• for (i = 1; i < 11; ++i)
• {
• printf("%d ", i);
• }
• return 0
• ;}
• Output
• 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

• i is initialized to 1.
• The test expression i < 11 is evaluated. Since 1 less than 11 is true, the body of for loop is executed.
This will print the 1 (value of i) on the screen.
• The update statement ++i is executed. Now, the value of i will be 2. Again, the test expression is
evaluated to true, and the body of for loop is executed. This will print 2 (value of i) on the screen.
• Again, the update statement ++i is executed and the test expression i < 11 is evaluated. This
process goes on until i becomes 11.
• When i becomes 11, i < 11 will be false, and the for loop terminates.
Example 2: for loop

• // Program to calculate the sum of first n natural numbers// Positive integers 1,2,3...n are known
as natural numbers
• #include <stdio.h>
• int main()
• {
• int num, count, sum = 0;
• printf("Enter a positive integer: ");
• scanf("%d", &num);
• // for loop terminates when num is less than count
• for(count = 1; count <= num; ++count)
• {
• sum += count;
• }
• printf("Sum = %d", sum);
• return 0;
• }
• Output
• Enter a positive integer: 10Sum = 55
• The value entered by the user is stored in the variable num.
Suppose, the user entered 10.
• The count is initialized to 1 and the test expression is
evaluated. Since the test expression count<=num (1 less
than or equal to 10) is true, the body of for loop is executed
and the value of sum will equal to 1.
• Then, the update statement ++count is executed
and count will equal to 2. Again, the test expression is
evaluated. Since 2 is also less than 10, the test expression is
evaluated to true and the body of the for loop is executed.
Now, sum will equal 3.
• This process goes on and the sum is calculated until
the count reaches 11.
• When the count is 11, the test expression is evaluated to 0
(false), and the loop terminates.
• Then, the value of sum is printed on the screen.
