Study Notes

Introduction to Programming and Problem Solving (CS101)

  • This is an introductory course to programming.
  • Lecture 9 covers the while loop structure.

While Loop Structure

  • The while loop first evaluates a condition.
  • Then performs an action(s) based on the condition's truth value.
  • The loop body may not execute if the condition is false initially.
  • Expression1: Initial condition/control variable
  • Expression2: Loop continuation condition
  • Expression3: Increment/Decrement

Example Programs using While Loop

  • A program that prints "Hello World" 10 times.
  • A program that prints the numbers from 1 to 10.
  • A program that prints the even numbers from 1 to 10.
  • A program that prints the even numbers from 10 to 1.

do...while Loop Structure

  • This loop structure always executes the loop body at least once.
  • The condition is tested at the end of the loop body.

Example Programs using do-while Loop

  • A program that prints "Hello World" 10 times.
  • A program that prints the numbers from 1 to 10.
  • A program that prints the even numbers from 1 to 10.
  • A program that prints the even numbers from 10 to 1.

Example 6.9: Summation of First n Numbers

  • Code segments for calculating the sum of the first n natural numbers using for, while, and do-while loops.

Example 6.10: Factorial of a Number

  • Code segments to calculate the factorial of a number using for, while, and do-while loops.

Calculating x to the power of y

  • Code segments for calculating x to the y power for any integer numbers using for, while, and do-while loops.

break vs. continue Statement

  • break statement terminates the loop and passes control out of the loop construct.
  • continue statement skips the rest of the statements in the current iteration and passes control to the next iteration.

Continue example

  • Skips the current loop iteration when a specified condition is met.

Break example

  • Terminates the loop when a certain condition is met.

Example 6.16: Summation of Unspecified Numbers

  • A program that calculates the sum of a sequence of positive integer inputs provided by a user and terminates if a user enters a non-positive integer.

Example 6.17 (Calculate the employee salary for next five years)

  • Program to calculate employee salary considering a 10% annual increment for the next five years.

Nested Loop

  • A loop inside another loop.
  • The inner loop will complete all its iterations for each iteration of the outer loop.

Example 6.17 (Nested Loop example)

  • Program that prints a specific output pattern of asterisks using nested loops.

Example 7: Multiplication Table

  • Program to print a multiplication table for numbers 1 to 9.

Exercise (Summation of odd numbers from 1 to 100)

  • Program to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 100. This example covers three approaches using the for loop, while loop, and do-while loop.

Exercise (show the following result pattern)

  • Code segment demonstrating nested loop structure to show a pattern of asterisks.

Exercise (Calculate the net salary)

  • Write a program that computes the net salary given the employee's salary and tax rate, applying different tax rates and conditions.

Exercise (Find the maximum of three numbers)

  • Example demonstrates a program to find the largest number among three input integers.

Exercise (International Phone Code according to country)

  • Example of a program that determines and displays a country's international phone code based on user input using a switch statement.

Exercise (BMI Calculations)

  • A program for calculating a person's BMI (Body Mass Index) based on input height and weight.

Exercise (Date Conversion)

  • Converts a date entered in dd/mm/yy format to the format "Month dd, yyyy".

For loop structure

  • A programming construct (syntax) that repeats a block of code a specified number of times.

While Loop Structure

  • A loop structure where a block of code is repeated as long as a condition is true.

Do-while Loop structure

  • A programming construct (syntax) that repeats a block of code until a certain condition is met.

Switch case Statement

  • A conditional statement that allows branching based on different values of a variable/expression, to execute specific code blocks within the switch statement.

Conditional Operators (Ternary Operators)

  • A conditional operator used as a shorthand for an if..else statement.

Additional Notes

  • Variables store values and have a data type
  • Several data types are available (e.g., integer, floating point, boolean, string)
  • Operators (e.g., arithmetic, relational, logical, bitwise) perform operations on variables.
  • Programming constructs like for, while and do-while loops are part of program control flow, allowing for repeated code blocks.
  • The Console object is used for input/output operations.
