In this tutorial, we will learn about different types of loops in C. We will cover the basics of for, while, and do-while loops.
A loop is a control flow statement that allows code to be executed repeatedly based on a condition.
C supports three types of loops: for loops, while loops, and do-while loops.
A for loop is used when the number of iterations is known before entering the loop. The syntax for the for loop is:
for (initialization; condition; increment) {
// Code block to be executed
}
A while loop is used when the number of iterations is not known beforehand. The syntax for the while loop is:
while (condition) {
// Code block to be executed
}
A do-while loop is similar to a while loop, but it guarantees that the code block will be executed at least once. The syntax for the do-while loop is:
do {
// Code block to be executed
} while (condition);
