Loops
The Looping statements are used for execution of a (block of) statement(s) for multiple no. of times , according to the conditions specified in the loops .
various statements used for executing loops in C are :
Statements | What They Contain.. | Minimum Executions |
---|---|---|
For | Main statement contains initialization value , condition check & value modification . | 0 |
While | Main statement contains condition check , initialization before and value check anywhere inside the looping block . | 0 |
Do-while | Do part contains the executable block , while part contains the condition . | 1 |
The For Loop
The For Looping statement is used for multiple executions. The different parts are :1. The Initialization
2. Condition Check
3. Increment/Decrement Value
It can be also used in the Nested form , meaning loops inside loops.
Syntax for 'For Loop'
for(variable initialization ; condition check ; value modify ) Example: for ( i=0 ; i<7 ; i++ )
C Example
#include<stdio.h> int main() { int i; for (i=1;i<6;i++) { printf("%d\n",i); } printf("loop over"); return 0; }
