C Loops

Flow Control

C Loops

Sometimes it is necessary in the program to execute the statement several times, and C loops execute a block of commands a specified number of times, until a condition is met. In this chapter you will learn about all the looping statements of C programming along with their use.

What is Loop?

A computer is the most suitable machine to perform repetitive tasks and can tirelessly do a task tens of thousands of times. Every programming language has the feature to instruct to do such repetitive tasks with the help of certain form of statements. The process of repeatedly executing a collection of statement is called looping. The statements gets executed many number of times based on the condition. But if the condition is given in such a logic that the repetition continues any number of times with no fixed condition to stop looping those statements, then this type of looping is called infinite looping.
C supports following types of loops:
All are slightly different and provides loops for different situations.

C Loop Control Statements

Loop control statements is used to change normal sequence of execution of loop.
StatementSyntaxDescription
break statementbreak;Is used to terminate loop or switch statements.
continue statementcontinue;Is used to suspend the execution of current loop iteration and transfer control to the loop for the next iteration.
goto statementgoto labelName;
labelName: statement;
It’s transfer current program execution sequence to some other part of the program.

Python Lists

Python Lists Dealing with data in a structured format is quiet generous, and this is possible if those data are set accordingly in a specific manner. So, Python provides these data structures named ‘lists’ and ‘tuples’ that are used to organize data in  single set. Python has 6 built-in sequences and among them the most famous are “lists and tuples”. The lists are containers that hold a number of other objects in a given order. It usually puts into practice the sequence protocol and allows programmers to add or remove objects from that sequence. Each element of the sequence is assigned a number i.e. he index and the first index is 0 (zero). This versatile data-type of Python is written in a sequence of list separated by commas between expressions. Creating Lists To build a list, just put a number of expressions in square brackets. The syntax is: Syntax: lst1 = [ ] # lst1 is the name of the list lst2 = [ expression1 , …. , expression_N ] Example: #!/usr/bin/python ls...

C++ Qualifiers and Storage Classes

C++ Qualifiers and Storage Classes Qualifiers and storage class are smaller but important programming concept that helps to make the quality of a variable more accurate for using that variable within the program. In this chapter you will learn about how qualifiers are used with variables and what the roles of different storage classes in C++ are. What is a Qualifier? A qualifier is a token added to a variable which adds an extra  quality , such as specifying volatility or constant-ness to a variable. They act like an adjective for a variable. With or without a qualifier, the variable itself still occupies the same amount of memory, and each bit has the same interpretation or contribution to the state/value. Qualifiers just specify something about how it may be accessed or where it is stored. Three qualifiers are there in C++. These are: const : This is used to define that the type is constant. volatile : his is used to define that the type is volatile. mutable:  applies to non...
