Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved Motivations Suppose that you need to print a string (e.g., "Welcome to Java!") a hundred times. It would be tedious to have to write the following statement a hundred times: System.out.println("Welcome to Java!"); So, how do you solve this problem?

All rights reserved Java Loops – while, do…While, & for 4  There may be a situation when we need to execute a block of code several number of times, and is often referred to as a loop.  Java has very flexible three looping mechanisms. You can use one of the following three loops: while Loop do...while Loop for Loop

Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved while Loop pseudocode syntax while Java syntax while ( ) { } Use a loop statement if you need to do the same thing repeatedly. The condition is at the bottom of the loop (in contrast to the while loop, where the condition is at the top of the loop). The compiler requires putting a ";" at the very end, after the do loop's condition. Proper style dictates putting the "while" part on the same line as the " } "

All rights reserved while Loop int count = 0; while (count < 100) { System.out.println("Welcome to Java"); count++; } // end of while A while loop is a control structure that allows you to repeat a task a certain number of times.

Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved Here key point of the while loop is that the loop might not ever run. When the expression is tested and the result is false, the loop body will be skipped and the first statement after the while loop will be executed.

Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved Caution Don’t use floating-point values for equality checking in a loop control. Since floating-point values are approximations for some values, using them could result in imprecise counter values and inaccurate results. Consider the following code for computing : double item = 1; double sum = 0; while (item != 0) { // No guarantee item will be 0 sum += item; item -= 0.1; } System.out.println(sum); Variable item starts with 1 and is reduced by 0.1 every time the loop body is executed. The loop should terminate when item becomes 0. However, there is no guarantee that item will be exactly 0, because the floating-point arithmetic is approximated. This loop seems OK on the surface, but it is actually an infinite loop.

Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved Here is the flow of control in a for loop: The initialization step is executed first, and only once. This step allows you to declare and initialize any loop control variables. for(int x = 10; x<20; x = x + 1); Next, the Boolean expression is evaluated. If it is true, the body of the loop is executed. x < 20; // true, then System.out.print("value of x : " + x ); // body of the loop System.out.print("\n"); //body of the for loop // increment the statement and back to checking the condition If it is false, the body of the loop does not execute and flow of control jumps to the next statement past the for loop. After the body of the for loop executes, the flow of control jumps back up to the update statement. The Boolean expression is now evaluated again. If it is true, the loop executes and the process repeats itself (body of loop, then update step,then Boolean expression). After the Boolean expression is false, the for loop terminates.

Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Eighth Edition, (c) 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

F For example, if you're writing a program that simulates the operations of a garage door opener, you'll need to keep track of the state of the garage door's direction and the direction up or down? F You need to keep track of the direction "state" because the direction determines what happens when the garage door opener's button is pressed. F If the direction state is up, then pressing the garage door button causes the direction to switch to down. F If the direction state is down, then pressing the garage door button causes the direction to switch to up.  To implement the state of some condition, use a boolean variable.

Solution: Suppose you enter two integers 4 and 2, their greatest common divisor is 2. Suppose you enter two integers 16 and 24, their greatest common divisor is 8. So, how do you find the greatest common divisor? Let the two input integers be n1 and n2. You know number 1 is a common divisor, but it may not be the greatest commons divisor. So you can check whether k (for k = 2, 3, 4, and so on) is a common divisor for n1 and n2, until k is greater than n1 or n2. GreatestCommonDivisorRun

All rights reserved Problem: Monte Carlo Simulation The Monte Carlo simulation refers to a technique that uses random numbers and probability to solve problems. This method has a wide range of applications in computational mathematics, physics, chemistry, and finance. This section gives an example of using the Monte Carlo simulation for estimating . Assume the radius of the Circle is 1, area is  and the square area is 4. MonteCarloSimulation Run circleArea / squareArea =  / 4.  can be approximated as 4 * numberOfHits /

All rights reserved Problem: Displaying Prime Numbers Problem: Write a program that displays the first 50 prime numbers in five lines, each of which contains 10 numbers. An integer greater than 1 is prime if its only positive divisor is 1 or itself. For example, 2, 3, 5, and 7 are prime numbers, but 4, 6, 8, and 9 are not. Solution: The problem can be broken into the following tasks: For number = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,..., test whether the number is prime. Determine whether a given number is prime. Count the prime numbers. Print each prime number, and print 10 numbers per line. PrimeNumberRun
