Loops in C Programming
There may be a situation, when you need to execute a block of code several number of times. In general, statements are executed sequentially: The first statement in a function is executed first, followed by the second, and so on.
Programming languages provide various control structures that allow for more complicated execution paths.
A loop statement allows us to execute a statement or group of statements multiple times and following is the general form of a loop statement in most of the programming languages:
C programming language provides the following types of loop to handle looping requirements. Click the following links to check their detail.
| Loop Type | Description |
|---|---|
while loop
| Repeats a statement or group of statements while a given condition is true. It tests the condition before executing the loop body. |
for loop
| Execute a sequence of statements multiple times and abbreviates the code that manages the loop variable. |
do...while loop
| Like a while statement, except that it tests the condition at the end of the loop body |
nested loops
| You can use one or more loop inside any another while, for or do..while loop. |
