C Loops
Loops in C are used to perform a block of code repeatedly until the given condition is satisfied.
Following are the three types of loops in C programming:
- for loop
- while loop
- do-while loop
for Loop
A C program for loop is a control of repetition that gives the programmers a chance to enter a loop, which will then be repeated some number of times.
The for loop enables us to define three things regarding the loop:
- Initializing a loop counter to a starting value.
- Checking the loop counter to see if its value has arrived at the number of repetitions needed.
- Stepping up the value of the loop counter on each iteration through the loop body.
While Loop
The while loop is employed whenever you wish to run a code block as long as a given condition holds true.
do-while Loop
The do-while loop is the same as the while loop. This loop would run its statements at least once, regardless of whether the condition fails the first time.
