 Looping (repetition)
• What if we want to display hello 500 times?
– Should we write 500 printf statements or
equivalent ?
⮚ Obviously not.
• It means that we need some programming
facility to repeat certain works.
• Such facility is available in form of looping
statements.

 Loop
• The main idea of a loop is to repeat an action
or a series of actions.

The concept of a loop without condition

©LPU CSE101 C Programming

 • But, when to stop looping?
• In the following flowchart, the action is executed
over and over again. It never stops – This is called
an infinite loop
• Solution – put a condition to tell the loop either
continue looping or stop.

©LPU CSE101 C Programming

 Loop statements
• C provides three loop statements:

©LPU CSE101 C Programming

 while statement
while(loop repetition condition)
{
Statements;
}

Loop repetition condition is the condition which

controls the loop.
•The statement is repeated as long as the loop
repetition condition is true.
•A loop is called an infinite loop if the loop
repetition condition is always true.
•while loop is known as entry controlled loop, as
condition is checked at the beginning/ or entry
point

 The for Statement in C
• The syntax of for statement in C:
Syntax
for (initialization-expression;
loop-repetition-condition;
update-expression){
statement;
}
• The initialization-expression set the initial value of the loop
control variable.
• The loop-repetition-condition test the value of the loop
control variable.
• The update-expression update the loop control variable.
• It is also known as entry controlled loop as condition is
checked first and then loop body executes

©LPU CSE101 C Programming

 Nested Loops
• Nested loops consist of an outer loop with one
or more inner loops.
• Eg:
Outer loop
for (i=1;i<=100;i++){
for(j=1;j<=50;j++){ Inner loop

…
}
}
• The above loop will run for 100*50 iterations.

 While vs. for statements

Comparing for and while loops

©LPU CSE101 C Programming
 The do-while Statement in C
• The syntax of do-while statement in C:
Syntax
do
{
statement;
} while (condition);
• The statement executed at least one time(even if the
condition is false)
• For second time, If the condition is true, then the
statement is repeated else the loop is exited.
• Also known as exit-controlled loop, as loop body
executes first and then the condition is checked

 Difference between while and do..while
while loop do..while loop
1. Condition is specified at the top 1. Condition is mentioned at the
bottom
2. Body statements are executed 2. Body statements are executed at
when the condition is satisfied least once even if the expression value
evaluates to false
3. It is an entry controlled loop 3. It is an exit controlled loop
4.Syntax: 4.Syntax:
while (condition) do
statement; {
statements;
}
while (condition);
