Copyright © Nancy Acemian 2004 For Loops-Break-Continue COMP a) An “out of sync” header can result in the loop being skipped or in an infinite loop. // loop will be skipped for (j=1; j >=10; j++) cout << j << " "; // infinite loop for (j = 5; j > 0; j++) cout << j << " "; Cautions for For Loop

Copyright © Nancy Acemian 2004 For Loops-Break-Continue COMP The initialization statement of a for loop may contain two or more statements separated by commas. - The update part of a loop may contain multiple expressions that allow the loop to modify more than one control object.

Copyright © Nancy Acemian 2004 For Loops-Break-Continue COMP Form:break Action: At any place in a loop body, a break statement immediately transfers program control to the first statement following the loop. When a break statement is used as part of an inner nested loop, program control exits the inner loop but not the outer loop. We have seen the use of the break statement in the switch statement The break Statement

Copyright © Nancy Acemian 2004 For Loops-Break-Continue COMP Example: The break statement is used in an exit test within an "infinite loop". The loop terminates on a response of 'Q'. while (true)// infinite while loop {... cin >> response;// request user input if (response == 'Q')// test for the QUIT response break; // break from the loop.... // continue the loop body } The break Statement …

Copyright © Nancy Acemian 2004 For Loops-Break-Continue COMP Form:continue Action: The continue statement terminates execution of all remaining statements in the current iteration and passes program control to the next iteration. When continue is used in a while or do..while statement, the next code to execute is the loop test. The programmer is responsible to update control objects, as necessary, before executing continue. The continue statement

Copyright © Nancy Acemian 2004 For Loops-Break-Continue COMP Form:continue Action …: In a for loop, the next code to execute is the update expression. The continue statement

Copyright © Nancy Acemian 2004 For Loops-Break-Continue COMP Example: i = 1; while (i < 10) {... cin >> n;// input an integer value if (n < 0) // test for negative n { i++; // prepare for next iteration continue; // go to next iteration }...// otherwise continue loop body } The continue statement …

Copyright © Nancy Acemian 2004 For Loops-Break-Continue COMP The equivalent for statement also uses continue. for(i=1; i < 10; i++) {... if (n < 0) // test for negative n continue; // increment i and perform loop test... // otherwise continue loop body } The continue statement …
