Mastering Loops in C: A Comprehensive Guide | Episode 3

Introduction to Loops in C

In C programming, loops are essential for repetitive tasks. They allow you to execute a block of code repeatedly under certain conditions.

Types of Loops in C

There are three main types of loops in C:

1. for loop

for (initialization; condition; increment/decrement) {
    // Code to be repeated
}
            

Example:

for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
    printf("Iteration %d\n", i);
}
            

2. while loop

while (condition) {
    // Code to be repeated
}
            

Example:

int num = 1;
while (num <= 5) {
    printf("Number: %d\n", num);
    num++;
}
            

3. do-while loop

do {
    // Code to be repeated
} while (condition);
            

Example:

int x = 1;
do {
    printf("Value: %d\n", x);
    x++;
} while (x <= 5);
