Understanding Loops
in C Programming
Loops are a foundational concept in C
programming. They enable repetitive execution
of code blocks. Loops are essential for efficient
and concise code. This presentation will provide
a comprehensive guide to understanding and
using loops effectively.
What is loop?

A loop is a programming construct that repeats a block of code multiple


times. It helps in reducing redundancy and increasing efficiency.
Why Use Loops?
Efficiency

Consider printing numbers 1 to 10.


- To automate repetitive tasks.
Without loops, it's tedious. The concise
- To reduce the length of the code.
equivalent uses a simple for loop.
- To enhance code readability and maintainability.
- To process large amounts of data efficiently. - To
automate
Without Loop:
printf("1\n"); printf("2\n"); ...
printf("10\n");

With Loop:
for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
{ printf("%d\n", i); }
Types of loop in c

For loop While loop Do-While loop


The for Loop
Initialization
Executed once at the beginning.

Condition
Evaluated before each iteration. The loop continues if true.

Increment/Decrement
Executed after each iteration.

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {


printf("Iteration: %d\n", i);
}
The code prints 0 to 4. for loops provide definite iteration
and a clear structure for counting.
The while Loop

Initialization
Done before the while loop.
2

Condition
Evaluated before each iteration.
1

3 Increment/Decrement
Done within the loop body.

int i = 0;
while (i < 5) {
printf("Iteration: %d\n", i);
i++;
}
The do-while Loop
Condition
Evaluated after each iteration.

Guaranteed Execution
Ensures at least one execution.

int i = 0;
do {
printf("Iteration: %d\n", i);
i++;
} while (i < 5);

The code prints 0 to 4. The do-while loop is a post-test loop. It


guarantees at least one execution. Use it for input validation where you
prompt the user until valid input is provided.
Differences Between Loops

For Loop: Condition check before execution, used when iterations are known.
While Loop: Condition check before execution, used when iterations are
unknown.
Do-While Loop: Condition check after execution, ensures at least one execution.
Nested Loops

One loop inside Multi-dimensional


another data

A loop inside another loop.


Example:
for(int i = 1; i <= 3; i++) {
for(int j = 1; j <= 3; j++) {
printf("(%d,%d) ", i, j);
}
printf("\n");
}
Loop Control: break
Terminates
The loop ends prematurely.

Transfers Control
Goes to the next statement.

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {


if (i == 5) break;
printf("%d\n", i);
}

This code prints 0 to 4. A common use is exiting a loop based


on a condition or error.
Loop Control: continue
Skips Iteration
Skips current iteration.

Proceeds
Goes to the next iteration.

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {


if (i % 2 == 0) continue;
printf("%d\n", i);
}

The code prints only odd numbers. A common use is skipping specific
cases within a loop.
Conclusion

- Loops help make code efficient and concise.


- Choosing the right loop depends on the problem.
- Understanding loops is essential for mastering programming.
