Study Notes
Loops
- Loops are control structures that repeatedly execute code blocks.
- They are crucial in programming for repetitive tasks.
- Various loop types exist, including while, do-while, and for loops.
While Statement
- A while loop executes a code block as long as a condition remains true.
- The condition is evaluated before each iteration.
- If the condition is initially false, the code block is skipped.
- The loop continues to iterate until the condition becomes false.
Do-While Statement
- A do-while loop ensures the code block is executed at least once.
- The condition is checked after each iteration.
- The loop continues to iterate as long as the condition remains true.
For Statement
- A for loop is used when iterations are known in advance.
- It comprises three parts: initialization, condition, and increment (decrement).
- The initialization sets up the loop variable.
- The condition determines when the loop continues or terminates.
- The increment (or decrement) updates the loop variable after each iteration.
- The loop will continue to execute as the condition is true, and terminates when the condition becomes false.
Nested Loops
- A nested loop is a loop placed inside another loop's body.
- They are used to iterate through multi-dimensional data structures (e.g., arrays, matrices).
- The inner loop completes all its iterations before the outer loop proceeds to its next iteration.
- Nested loops can significantly increase the number of loop iterations.
Loops with Conditional Statements
- Combining loops with conditional statements (if-else, switch) allows selective execution of code within each loop iteration.
- The actions taken depend on conditions evaluated during each iteration.
- Conditional statements control code execution paths differently based on expressions or conditions, offering flexibility in loop behavior. This can include handling various elements or situations encountered while iterating.
