Loops in C Notes

The document explains three types of loops in C: for, while, and do-while. The for loop is used when the number of iterations is known, the while loop is for unknown iterations with a pre-check condition, and the do-while loop executes at least once with a post-check condition. Each loop type is illustrated with syntax and example code that outputs the numbers 1 to 5.

Loops in C: for, while, do-while

1. FOR Loop

- Best when you know how many times to loop.

- Syntax:

for(initialization; condition; increment) {

// code

Example:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {

for(int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {

printf("%d ", i);

return 0;

Output: 1 2 3 4 5

---------------------------------------------

2. WHILE Loop

- Used when number of iterations is unknown.

- Condition is checked before loop body.

Syntax:
while(condition) {

// code

Example:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {

int i = 1;

while(i <= 5) {

printf("%d ", i);

i++;

return 0;

Output: 1 2 3 4 5

---------------------------------------------

3. DO-WHILE Loop

- Always executes at least once.

- Condition checked after loop body.

Syntax:

do {

// code

} while(condition);
Example:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {

int i = 1;

do {

printf("%d ", i);

i++;

} while(i <= 5);

return 0;

Output: 1 2 3 4 5
