CM304.50 1
 Objective

On completion of this period, the student would

be able know.
 do-while loop

CM304.50 2
 Recap

while Loop:
 while loop is a Top tested loop and its minimum
iterations for while is ‘0’.

CM304.50 3
 do while loop

 It is another loop statement .

 It is also called as bottom tested loop.

 The minimum number of iterations in this

loop is ‘1’.

CM304.50 4
 General form of the do while
do
{
body of the loop;
}
while (condition);

 If condition is true, statements in between do and

while are executed repeatedly.

If condition is false, loop exits and executes next
statement.

CM304.50 8
 for loop

 for loop is another loop statement.

 It is used to execute a loop for fixed
number of times.
 It has two bounds, lower bound &
upper bound.
 One altering statement to reach from
one bound to other else it becomes
infinite loop
CM304.50 9
 General form of for loop

for (initialization; condition; increment/decrement)

{
body of the loop;
}

Initialization : initialize the loop index.

Condition : it is a value or expression for

checking entering/continuation.

Increment/decrement : increment/decrement the loop

index value.
