eg:
char linebuff [256];
FILE *f;
...
while (fgets (linebuff, sizeof (linebuff), f) != NULL) {
}
if (ferror (f)) /* error */
else /* EOF */
You can use a for loop whenever you can use a while loop; it's the same.
Yes. while loop consist of only condition statement to make for loop look as while loop we can use syntax shown below: for(;condition;) eg: for(;i<=n;)
We need a for loop because the while and do-while loops do not make use of a control variable. Although you can implement a counter inside a while or do-while loop, the use of a control variable is not as self-evident as it is in a for loop. Aside from the use of a control variable, a for loop is largely the same as a while loop. However, it is quite different to a do-while loop, which always executes at least one iteration of the loop before evaluating the conditional expression. In a for and while loop, the conditional expression is always evaluated before entering the loop, which may result in the loop not executing at all.
Because you have to repeat something. (Or you can use while-loop, too.)
A counted loop. Typically we use a for loop for counted loops: // loop 10 times... for (int i=0; i<10; ++i) { // ... } We can also use while and do-while loops to do the same thing, however a for loop provides all the information up front where it belongs and we can localise the control variable. With while and do-while loops, the control variable must be declared outside the loop, and the increment is usually specified at the end of the loop. This makes while and do-while loops harder to read because the information that controls the loop is separated: // loop 10 times... int i = 0; while (i<10) { // ... ++i; } A do-while loop is similar to a while loop, but the control expression is placed at the end of the loop thus the loop always executes at least once. This also upsets the logic of a counted loop because the control variable is off-by-one. // loop 10 times... int i = 0; do { // ... ++i; } while (i<11);
Yes, it's easy:Old: while (expression)statementNew: for (; expression;)statement
1) use for loop 2) do while loop
do WHILE loop defination
While: If we can use while statement it will check the condition then proceed further loop statement.DoWhile: If we use dowhile, first execute loop statement then check the condition.
A nested loop is a (inner) loop that appears in the loop body of another (outer) loop. The inner or outer loop can be any type: while, do while, or for. For example, the inner loop can be a while loop while an outer loop can be a for loop.
The do loop is similar to the while loop, except that the expression is not evaluated until after the do loop's code is executed. Therefore the code in a do loop is guaranteed to execute at least once. The following shows a do loop in action: do { System.out.println("Inside do while loop"); } while(false); The System.out.println() statement will print once, even though the expression evaluates to false. Remember, the do loop will always run the code in the loop body at least once. Be sure to note the use of the semicolon at the end of the while expression.
They both loop
