Loops

Loops allow a set of instructions to be repeated until a certain condition is reached. There are three common types of loops: for loops, while loops, and do-while loops. Loops provide an efficient way to repeat code without manually writing out repetitive statements, making code more concise and elegant. They constitute a basic and powerful programming concept.

What are Loops?

Loops allow a set of instructions to be performed


until a certain condition is reached.

A loop is a series of instructions that is repeated
until a certain condition is met.

Each instruction that passes through the loop is
called an iteration.

Loops constitute one of the most basic and
powerful programming concepts.
Loops

Kinds of Loops:

1) for loop
2) while loop
3) do - while loop
What are Loops?
Importance of Loops

#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
printf(TUP\n");
printf(TUP\n");
printf(TUP\n");
printf(TUP\n");
printf(TUP\n");
}
What are Loops?
The program shown before is indeed enough to
solve the problem. However, if you were asked to
do the same program except this time you print
TUP 100 times. Are you willing to type printf() 100
times? (Excluding copy and paste)

What if you were asked to print TUP 1000,
10000, 100000 times or what ever it would take
you to realize that this isnt a sensible method.

What we are after here is elegance of the code.
Doing the job in an efficient manner.
What are Loops?

#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
int ctr;
for(ctr = 1; ctr <= 5; ++ctr)
{
printf(TUP\n);
}
}

while Loops
Syntax:
while(condition)
{
statement1;
statement2;
statementn;
}
while Loops
Example:
This program will print out numbers from 1-10.
#include<stdio.>
main()
{
int ctr;
ctr=1;
while(ctr<=10){
printf(\n%d,ctr);
++ctr;
}
}

Analyze:
ctr=1;
while(ctr<=10)
{
printf(\n%d,ctr);
++ctr;
}
do-while Loops
Syntax:
do
{
statement1;
statement2;
statementn;
}while(condition);
do-while Loops
Example:
This program will print numbers from 1 - 10.
#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
int ctr;
ctr=1;
do{
printf(\n%d,ctr);
++ctr;
}while(ctr<=10);
}
Analyze:
ctr=1;
do
{
printf(\n%d,ctr);
++ctr;
}while(ctr<=10);
for Loops
Syntax:
for(initialization;condition;increment)
{
statement1 ;
statement2;
statementn;
}
for Loops
Sample program:
Create a C program that will print all even numbers
from 0 to 100.
#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
int ctr;
for(ctr=0;ctr<=100; ctr += 2)
{
printf(\n%d,ctr);
}
}
Analyze:
for(ctr=0;ctr<=100;ctr += 2)
Loops
EXERCISE #11
Create three programs using the following
conditions that will print numbers from 1 to 10.
x < ___
x <= ___
x != ___

Initialize the value of x
ASSIGNMENT 2
Create a program that will accept input from the
user and display it. The program will terminate only if
the user entered 0.
ASSIGNMENT 3
Using the following idea of modulus, create a
program that will accept a user input and determine if
the number is ODD or EVEN:
2 % 2 = 0
3 % 2 = 1
4 % 2 = 0
5 % 2 = 1
Use the condition:
x % 2 = = 0 or
x % 2 != 0
