In computer programming, a loop is a sequence of instruction s that is continually repeated until a certain condition is reached. Typically, a certain process is done, such as getting an item of data and changing it, and then some condition is checked such as whether a counter has reached a prescribed number.

This file is based on the loops that could be used in C Programming. These are explained with some examples and sample programmings and screen shots.
NOTE: The software used in this programming is Notepad++ and the programs are compiled and run through gcc compiler using command prompt.
Decision making:
In CSharp, various types of decision making statements are available such as if..else, if..else..if, switch etc. Each statement is used to evaluate the specific test. If tests are determined to be true, specific statement will be execued for example : if(a > b) statement1 else statement2. Sometimes when develpoing program that requires to take the decision to execute specific part of program, decision making statement helps to do so.
Switch Case
In CSharp switch acts like a multiple if / else if / else chain. Checks a value against a list of cases, and executes the first case that is true. If no matching case found, it executes the default case. The break(optional) statements with case indicate to the interpreter to end the particular case.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
This presentation provides an introduction to quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis and marker-assisted selection (MAS) in plant breeding. The presentation begins by explaining the type of quantitative traits. The process of QTL analysis, including the use of molecular genetic markers and statistical methods, is discussed. Practical examples demonstrating the power of MAS are provided, such as its use in improving crop traits in plant breeding programs. Overall, this presentation offers a comprehensive overview of these important genomics-based approaches that are transforming modern agriculture.
Power-sharing Class 10 is a vital aspect of democratic governance. It refers to the distribution of power among different organs of government, levels of government, and social groups. This ensures that no single entity can control all aspects of governance, promoting stability and unity in a diverse society.

possible to perform mathematical operation on character values
The control structure that executes a statement or set of statements repeatedly is called loop.
Loops are also known as iteration or repetition structure
Loops are basically used for two purposes:
They are used to execute a statement or number of statements for a specified number of times
Example: A user may display his name on screen for 10 times
The loops are also used to get a sequence of values
Example: A user may display a set of natural numbers from 1 to 10
There are three types of loops available in C:
while loop
do-while loop
for loop

possible to perform mathematical operation on character values
while loop is the simplest loop of C
It executes one or more statements while the given condition remains true
It is useful when the number of iterations is not known in advance
Syntax
Condition is evaluated:
if it is true, the statement(s) are executed, and then condition is evaluated again
if it is false, the loop is exited
An iteration is
an execution of
the loop body.
while is a
keyword. It is
always written in
lowercase.
Loop body
Don’t put ; after (condition)
while is a pretest
loop (the condition
is evaluated before
the loop executes)

while Loop Example
int n;
n = 1;
while(n<=5)
{
printf(“Pakistann");
n++;
}
Produces output:
Counter Variable
A variable that is incremented or decremented each time a loop iterates
It can be used to control the execution of the loop (as a loop control variable)
It must be initialized before entering loop
It may be incremented/decremented either inside the loop or in the loop test
n++; is the same as n= n + 1;
Don’t put ; after (condition)
Loop body
while is a pretest
loop (the condition
is evaluated before
the loop executes)

Infinite loop
The loop must contain code to allow the condition to eventually become false so the loop can be exited
Otherwise, you have an infinite loop
Example
int n;
n = 1;
while(n<10)
printf("%d t",n);
Infinite loop because n is always < 10
A loop that does not
stop is known as an
infinite loop
9. Copyright @ IT Series www.itseries.com.pk
possible to perform mathematical operation on character values
This loop executes one or more statements while the given condition is true
In this loop, the condition comes after the body of loop
The loop body always executes at least once
Syntax:
Execution continues as long as the condition is true; the loop is exited when the condition becomes false
; after (condition) is also required
The loop executes at least once even if the condition is false in the beginning
An error occurs if the semicolon
is not used at the end of the
condition.
Loop body
do-while is a post
test loop (condition
is evaluated after
the loop executes)

It is a pretest loop that executes one or more statements for a specified number of times
This loop is also called counter-controlled loop
It is useful with counters or if precise number of iterations is known
Syntax / General Form Example
for (initialization; condition; increment/decrement)
{
statement 1;
statement 2;
statement N;
}

You can define variables in initialization code
for (int n=1; n <= 5; n++)
Can omit initialization if already done
int n = 1;
for (; n <= 5; n++)
Can omit update if done in loop body
for (n = 1; n<= 5;)
n++;
The condition in for loop is mandatory. It cannot be omitted
int n=1;
for (;n<= 5;)
n++;

Sentinel Controlled Loop
• Sentinel-controlled loop depends on special value known as sentinel value
• A sentinel value is commonly used with while and do-while loops
• The number of iterations of sentinel-controlled loop is unknown
• Depends on the input from the user
General Form
• Start the loop iteration
• Compare the data value with the sentinel value
• Process the loop body if it is different from sentinel value
• Terminate the loop if the data value is a sentinel value
Examples
• A loop that inputs the marks of students until a negative number is entered
• A loop that inputs different characters until the character 'Z' is entered
• A loop that continues to read a string until a period "." is found
• A loop that inputs a number until a 0(zero) is entered

The inner loop goes through all its iterations for each iteration of the outer loop
The continue statement is used in the body of the loop
When this statement is executed in the loop body, the remaining statements of current iteration are not
executed
The control directly moves to the next iteration
Example
The above example has two printf statements
One statement is before the continue statement and one is after continue statement
The second statement is never executed
This is because each time continue statement is executed, the control moves back to the start of the body
So “Knowledge is power” is never displayed
21. Copyright @ IT Series www.itseries.com.pk
The inner loop goes through all its iterations for each iteration of the outer loop
It can be used with while, for, do-while or switch structure
When this statement is executed in the loop body, the remaining iterations of the loop are skipped
The control directly moves outside the body and the statement that comes after the body is executed
When used in an inner loop, break terminates that loop only and returns to the outer loop
Example
The counter variable x indicates that the loop should execute for five times
But it is executed only once
In first iteration, the printf statement in the loop displays “Questioning” and control moves to break
statement
This statement moves the control out of the loop. So the message appears only once
break can be used to
terminate the
execution of a loop
iteration
22. Copyright @ IT Series www.itseries.com.pk
The inner loop goes through all its iterations for each iteration of the outer loop
A loop within a loop is called nested loop
Nested loops consist of an outer loop with or more inner loops
Any loop can be used as inner loop of another loop
e.g. while loop can be used as outer loop and for loop can be used as inner loop in nested loop
Syntax / General Form
The inner loop goes through all its iterations for each iteration of the outer loop
Total number of iterations for inner loop is product of number of iterations of the two loops
In example, Outer loop executes two times and inner loop executes three times with each iteration of outer
loop
The inner loop iterates 6 times in total

Used to perform an unconditional transfer of control to a named label
General Form
goto label; Example
----------------
-----------------
label:
Statement;
The label is an identifier.
When the goto statement is encountered, the program control
jumps to label and starts executing the statements
if and goto can be used together to construct loop in C
If statement is used to give specific condition
goto statement is used to transfer control from one location to
another
Control is transferred again and again until given condition become false
In this way , loop can be constructed
