int lcm (int a, int b) {
return a / gcd (a, b) * b;
}
The problem is that the typical implementation for the GCD function uses Euclid's algorithm, which requires a conditional loop:
int gcd (int a, int b) {
while (b!=0) b ^= a ^= b ^= a %= b;
return a;
}
So the question is really how do we calculate the GCD without a conditional loop, not the LCM. The answer is that we cannot. There are certainly alternatives to Euclid's algorithm, but they all involve conditional loops. Although recursion isn't technically a loop, it still requires a conditional expression to terminate the recursion.

What looping process checks the test condition at the end of the loop?
The do..while() loop tests the condition at the end of the loop. Therefore the loop body executes at least once. The while() loop (without do) tests the condition before entering the loop and before each iteration of the loop. The for() loop conditional expression is optional but, when specified, is tested before entering the loop and before each iteration of the loop.
Which Loop avoids check at every iteration?
All loops available in Java (for, while, do-while) have a loop termination condition that would get executed during every iteration of the loop. Without checking the loop condition the loop cannot be terminated and hence avoiding the loop condition check during iteration is not logic and Java does not do it.
What is main different between do while and while?
If you want to execute a statement which is in while loop at least one time you can use do- while loop. this is why because initially first statements will be executed then condition will be checked. but in case of while first condition will be check then statements will be executed
Is a while loop a pre-condition or post condition?
The while loop is a pre-condition loop. It tests the condition at the beginning of each loop, executes the loop if it is true, and goes back to the test after executing each iteration.
What are the three actions a loop performs using a counter variable?
for (initialisation; condition; update) { /* ... */}
How can you define null statement in loop in C programming?
If you are using for loop for(;;); or you can also define condition and iterations but the loop has to close there itself without any statement inside it. In the similar way you can define while and do while loop without any statement.

Do statement and For statement comparisons?
Do statement : Here the do loop exicutes once without cheching the condition and then the condition will be checked if condition becomes true then again loop begins from do and then exictes here if you are given value is n then loop exictues n+1 times.for statement : Here the for loop will be initilized first and the condition will be checked if the condition then the pointer enters the loop else not.And after completion of the loop the pointer again moves to the for statement and the increment/Decrement will be done as you provided in loop then the condition will be checked if satisfy then it enteres loop else not

What is the difference between dowhile loop dountil?
A do-while loop checks its termination condition before each iteration, including the first; a do-until checks after each iteration, so that the first iteration occurs before the first check. The C language uses the word "while" for both types of loop, using the placement of the condition to control its timing:C do-while:while (condition) { /* condition checked before first loop iteration */... loop contents}C do-until:do {... loop contents} while (condition); /* condition not checked until after first loop iteration */
Is a while loop a pre-condition or post condition?
The while loop is a pre-condition loop. It tests the condition at the beginning of each loop, executes the loop if it is true, and goes back to the test after executing each iteration.

Compare Do-While with While Statements?
A Do-While loop looks like this: do { loop body } while (condition); and a While loop looks like this: while (condition) { loop body } The main difference is that the loop body is always run once in the Do-While loop, then the condition is checked to see if the loop should keep running. In a While loop, the condition is checked first, and it will not run the loop body at all if the condition is false.
What is the significance of test condition in a loop?
The test condition in a loop is what's used to determine when the loop should end.
What is the syntax for writing a loop in pseudo code?
The syntax for writing a loop in pseudo code typically involves using keywords like "for", "while", or "do-while" to indicate the type of loop, followed by the loop condition and the code block to be executed within the loop.
What is loop logic structure?
I believe it is: Loop condition Loop actions And how the loop breaks
