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.

"C supports while loops, for loops, and do-while loops using the keywords while, for, and do (along with another while). Continuation conditions for loops are enclosed in parentheses, (...) and the blocks of code associated with the loop are enclosed in curly brackets. Code Sample 17.1 contains an example of a basic while loop in C. Just as with conditional statements, our code styling places the opening curly bracket on the same line as the while keyword and continuation condition. The inner block of code is also indented and all lines in the block are indented to the same level. In addition, the continuation condition does not contain a semicolon since it is not an executable statement. Just as with an if-statement, if we had placed a semicolon it would have led to unintended results.\n\n1 int i = 1; //Initialization\n\n2 while(i <= 10) { //continuation condition\n\n3 //perform some action\n\n4 i++; //iteration\n\n5 }\n\nCode Sample 17.1.: While Loop in C"
