Ideas in this flowchart
- C loop structures and the basic while loop
- C supports while, for, and do-while loops using their respective keywords.
- Loop syntax defines conditions, code blocks, and statement termination.
- Continuation conditions are enclosed in parentheses.
- Code blocks associated with loops are enclosed in curly brackets.
- A continuation condition does not contain a semicolon because it is not an executable statement.
- Adding a semicolon to the condition can produce unintended results.
- While-loop code follows consistent styling conventions.
- The opening curly bracket is placed on the same line as the while keyword and condition.
- The inner block and all of its lines are indented to the same level.
- Code Sample 17.1 demonstrates a basic while loop in C.
- The example initializes i to 1.
- The loop continues while i is less than or equal to 10.
- Each iteration performs an action and increments i.
