C++ LOOP TYPES http://www.tuto rialspo int.co m/cplusplus/cpp_lo o p_types.htm Copyrig ht © tutorialspoint.com There may be a situation, when you need to execute a block of code several number of times. In g eneral statements are executed sequentially: The first statement in a function is executed first, followed by the second, and so on. Prog ramming lang uag es provide various control structures that allow for more complicated execution paths. A loop statement allows us to execute a statement or g roup of statements multiple times and following is the g eneral from of a loop statement in most of the prog ramming lang uag es: C++ prog ramming lang uag e provides the following types of loop to handle looping requirements. Click the following links to check their detail. Loop Type Description while loop Repeats a statement or g roup of statements while a g iven condition is true. It tests the condition before executing the loop body. for loop Execute a sequence of statements multiple times and abbreviates the code that manag es the loop variable. do...while loop Like a while statement, except that it tests the condition at the end of the loop body nested loops You can use one or more loop inside any another while, for or do..while loop. Loop Control Statements: Loop control statements chang e execution from its normal sequence. When execution leaves a scope, all automatic objects that were created in that scope are destroyed. C++ supports the following control statements. Click the following links to check their detail. Control Statement Description break statement Terminates the loop or switch statement and transfers execution to the statement immediately following the loop or switch. continue statement Causes the loop to skip the remainder of its body and immediately retest its condition prior to reiterating . g oto statement Transfers control to the labeled statement. Thoug h it is not advised to use g oto statement in your prog ram. The Infinite Loop: A loop becomes infinite loop if a condition never becomes false. The for loop is traditionally used for this purpose. Since none of the three expressions that form the for loop are required, you can make an endless loop by leaving the conditional expression empty. #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main () { for( ; ; ) { printf("This loop will run forever.\n"); } return 0; } When the conditional expression is absent, it is assumed to be true. You may have an initialization and increment expression, but C++ prog rammers more commonly use the for(;;) construct to sig nify an infinite loop. NOTE: You can terminate an infinite loop by pressing Ctrl + C keys..
