LAB 10: ITERATIONS IN C LANGAUGE

MCT-242L: Computer Programming-I Lab (Fall-2022)
Registration No. 2022-MC-51

OBJECTIVE:
This lab will introduce advanced concepts in loops available in C Language Program. At the end of this lab,
you should be able to:

 Understand and implement nested loops in C language program

 Learn about different loop control statements with examples

APPARATUS:
 Laptop\PC with following tools installed
o Visual Studio Code with C/C++ and Code Runner Extensions
o C/C++ mingw-w64 tools for Windows 10

LAB SUBMISSION:
Create a Visual Studio Code Workspace, Lab_10 and c files (Task_10_1.c to Task_10_10.c) for individual
tasks and add them to Lab_10 workspace.

ITRATION STATEMENTS
Nested Loops

C programming allows to use one loop inside another loop. The following section shows a few examples to
illustrate the concept.

for ( init; condition; increment ) while(condition) do

{ { {
for ( init; condition; increment while(condition) statement(s);
) { do
{ statement(s); {
statement(s); } statement(s);
} }while( condition );
statement(s);
statement(s); } }while( condition );
}
Nested for Loop Nested while Loop Nested do…while Loop

A final note on loop nesting is that you can put any type of loop inside any other type of loop. For example,
a ‘for’ loop can be inside a ‘while’ loop or vice versa.

/* Example_10_1.c: Nested loops in C

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This program demonstrates the use of Nested loops in C. It takes a number
as input form user and displays a right triangle of stars (*) on screen
with number of rows and columns (i.e. stars in base) equal to given number.
