2. Introduction
Definition: A group of statements is executed repeatedly, until some conditions has been satisfied.
Types of loops
While loop
Do while loop
For loop

3. While loop
The while loop has a loop condition which controls the execution of the loop statement.
Syntax
while(loop condition) {
statement1;
statement2; :
statement n; }

4. Conti…
If the loop condition evaluates to be true , then the statements (statemet1 to statement n} will be executed. If the loop condition evaluates to be false, control will go to the first statement after the curly bracket enclosing the loop statements.
The loop condition is at the beginning of the loop. It can happen that the loop condition is false at the beginning itself. While loop is suitable for iterations that place zero or more times.

5. Example: Write a program to print 10 consecutive numbers
#include<stdio.h>
void main() {
int i=0;
while(i<10)
printf(“%d”,i);
++I; }
Output:

6. do… while loop
The do while loop will be executed whether or not the condition in the loop is true at least for one time
Syntax do {
statement1;
statement2; :
Statement n;
}while(loop condition);

7. Conti…
The loop condition is evaluated after the statements,{statement1,statement2…statement n} are executed once. If the loop condition evaluates to be true, then the statements {statement1,statement2…statement n} will be executed again. If the loop condition evaluates to be false, control will go to the first statement after the while statement.

8. Example: Write a program to print first 10 consecutive numbers
#include<stdio.h> void main() { int i=0; do printf(“%d\t”,i); ++I; }while(i<10); } Output:

9. for loop
A group of statements is repeated up to a designed number of times . Syntax for(initialization;test_condition;increment/ decrement operation) { statement1; statement2; : statement n; }

10. Example: Write a program to print first 10 consecutive numbers
#include<stdio.h> void main() { int I ; for(i=0; i<10; i++) printf(“%d\t”,i) } Output:
