Study Notes
for Loops in C++
-
Structure: A
forloop has three parts, separated by semicolons:- Initialization: A statement executed once at the beginning of the loop, often used to initialize loop counters.
- Condition: A boolean expression determining whether the loop continues. The loop executes as long as the condition is true.
- Increment/Decrement: A statement executed after each iteration to update the loop counter.
-
Scope: Variables declared inside a
forloop have loop scope. They are only accessible within the loop's body. -
Example:
-
int count = 0;initializes a counter. -
count < 10is the condition; the loop continues as long ascountis less than 10. -
++countincrements the counter after each iteration.
-
-
Equivalence with
while: Aforloop can be rewritten as awhileloop. -
Error Prone Scenarios:
- Incorrect placement of increment/decrement statements.
- Errors might not show up in compilation but can arise in execution.
-
Testing: Test loops with various input values (0, 1, 2 iterations) to ensure correct functionality.
-
Multiple Variables: Variables can be declared in multiple formats, using commas.
-
forLoop Variations:- No initialization statement
- No increment/decrement
- No condition statement (creates an infinite loop)
