Controlling Number of Loop Iterations If the number of iterations is known before the loop starts, the loop is called a count- controlled loop. Counter =0, counter++, counter <number Counter = 1, counter++, counter <=number Use for loop for an easy development. 12/11/201514

Mapping iterations to counter values Suppose that we have the following loop: for (int count = 0; count < 49; count++) {... } What statement could we write in the body of the loop that would make the loop print the following output? … Answer: for (int count = 0; count < 49; count++) { System.out.print(2 * count + " "); } 17
Now consider another loop of the same style: for (int count = 0; count < 49; count++) {... } What statement could we write in the body of the loop that would make the loop print the following output? Answer: for (int count = 0; count < 49; count++) { System.out.print(2 * count " "); } 18
What statement could we write in the body of the loop that would make the loop print the following output? To find the pattern, it can help to make a table. Each time count goes up by 1, the number should go up by 5. But count * 5 is too big by 3, so we must subtract number to print count * count * 5 - 3count 19
number to print ( y ) count (x) 20
Caution: This is algebra, not assignment! Recall: slope-intercept form ( y = mx + b ) Slope is defined as “rise over run” (i.e. rise / run). Since the “run” is always 1 (we increment along x by 1), we just need to look at the “rise”. The rise is the difference between the y values. Thus, the slope ( m ) is the difference between y values; in this case, it is +5. To compute the y-intercept ( b ), plug in the value of y at x = 1 and solve for b. In this case, y = 2. y = m * x + b 2 = 5 * 1 + b Then b = -3 So the equation is y = m * x + b y = 5 * x – 3 y = 5 * count number to print ( y ) count (x) 21
Algebraically, if we always take the value of y at x = 1, then we can solve for b as follows: y = m * x + b y 1 = m * 1 + b y 1 = m + b b = y 1 – m In other words, to get the y -intercept, just subtract the slope from the first y value ( b = 2 – 5 = -3 ) This gets us the equation y = m * x + b y = 5 * x – 3 y = 5 * count – 3 (which is exactly the equation from the previous slides) 22
What statement could we write in the body of the loop that would make the loop print the following output? Let's create the loop table together. Each time count goes up 1, the number should... But this multiple is off by a margin of count * count * number to print count 23

Otherwise (unknown or unclear), the loop is called a event-controlled loop. Use a while loop or a do-while loop for an easy checkpoint development. Asking the user before each iteration if it is time to end the loop is called the ask-before-iterating technique. Appropriate status update (or event initializing) for a sequence of iterations 12/11/ Controlling Event of Loop Iterations

36 Write a program that will repeatedly prompt the user to type a number until the user types a non-negative number, then square it. Example log: Type a non-negative integer: -5 Invalid number, try again: -1 Invalid number, try again: -235 Invalid number, try again: -87 Invalid number, try again: squared is /11/2015
37 System.out.print("Type a non-negative integer: "); int n = keyboard.nextInt(); while (n < 0) { System.out.print("Invalid number, try again: "); n = keyboard.nextInt(); } int square = n * n; System.out.println(n + " squared is " + square); Notice that the number variable had to be declared outside the while loop in order to remain in scope. 12/11/2015
38 Write a class named DigitSum that reads an integer from the user and prints the sum of the digits of that number. You may assume that the number is non-negative. Example: Enter a nonnegative number: prints out 19 (i.e., ) Hint: Use the % operator to extract the last digit of a number. If we do this repeatedly, when should we stop? 12/11/2015
39 import java.util.Scanner; public class DigitSum { public static void main(String [] args) { Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in); int n = keyboard.nextInt(); int sum = 0; while (n > 0) { sum += n % 10; // add last digit to sum n = n / 10; // remove last digit } System.out.println(“sum = “ + sum); } } 12/11/2015
40 Write a program named CountFactors that reads in an integer and displays its number of factors. For example, if the user enters 60, CountFactors displays 12 because 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, and 60 are all factors of 60. Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in); int n = keyboard.nextInt(); int sum = 0, k = ?; while ( ) { } System.out.println(“sum = “ + sum); 12/11/2015
Scanner keyboard =new Scanner(System.in); int n = keyboard.nextInt(); int k = 1; int sum = 0; while (k<=n) { if(n%k==0) sum ++; k++; } System.out.print("sum = " + sum); 41
