WHAT IS LOOPING IN C-
PROGRAMMING?

 The looping can be defined as repeating the same

process multiple times until a specific condition
Satisfies or is true. The sequence of statements to be
executed is kept inside the curly bracket { }known as
loop body , condition is verified, and if it is found to
be true the loop body is executed again. And when
the condition check false, the loop body is not
executed

Why we loop in C-Programming ?
 Looping simplifies the complex problems into the
easy ones.
 Looping enables to alter the flow of the program so

that instead of writing the same code again and

again, we can execute the same code for a finite
number of times.
 For example, if we need to print “UNIVERSITY OF

FOMIC POLYTECHNIC” 15-times then, we can use

the Printf once inside a loop which runs up to 15
iterations.

Advantages of looping in C-
Programming
 It provides codes reusability.
 Using loops we do not need to write the same

code again and again.

 Using loops, we can access each elements

stored in the array so that the data can be

checked or used as part of the process. data
structure (array is a series of memory location
which holds a single item of data).

Types of C Loops

There are three types of loops in C language those

are given below;
 While

 Do while

 For

Essential components of a loop

 Counter
 Initialization of the counter with initial value

 Condition to check with the optimum value of the

counter
 Statement(s) to be executed by iteration

 Increment/decrement

While loop in C
 The while loop in c is to be used in the scenario where
the block of statements is executed in the while loop until
the condition specified in the while loop is satisfied. It is also
called a pre-tested loop.
 The syntax of while loop in c language is given below:
initialization;
While(condition)
{
block of the statements to be executed ;
increment;
8
}
Do-while loop in C
 The do-while loop continues until a given condition
satisfies. It is also called post tested loop. It is used when it is
necessary to execute the loop at least once(mostly menu
driven programs).
 The syntax of do-while loop in c language is given below;

do
{
code to be executed ;
}
9 While(condition);
For loop in C
• The for loop in C language is used to iterate the
statements or a part of the program several times. It
is frequently used to traverse the data structures like
the array and linked list.
• The syntax of for loop in c language is given below:
for(expression 1; Expression 2; Expression 3)
{
codes to be executed;
}
10
 Expression 1 (Optional)
• Represents the initialization of the loop variable.
• More than one variable can be initialized.
 Expression 2

• Expression 2 is a conditional expression. It checks for a

specific condition to be satisfied. If it is not, the loop is
terminated.
• Expression 2 can have more than one condition. However,
the loop will iterate until the last condition becomes false .
Other conditions will be treated as statements.
 Expression 3

• Expression 3 is increment or decrement to update

the value
11 of the loop variable

Example of While loop print even numbers
1. //print even numbers
2. #include<stdio.h>
3. int main ( )
4. {
5. int n, i=0;

6. printf (“/n Enter a number : “) ;

{
7. scanf(“ % d” ,&n);

8. while ( i < = n )
9. {

10. if ( i % 2= =0)
11. printf (“/n%d” , i ) ;

12. i + +;
13. }

14. return 0
