    Flowchart of While Loop in C

    While, do-while, and for loops in C allow code to be repeatedly executed. The while loop checks a condition before each iteration, whereas do-while checks after at least one iteration. For loops specify an initialization, condition, and update expression. Loops can be nested, with an inner loop executing multiple times within each iteration of the outer loop.

    While loop is also known as a pre-tested loop.

    In general, a
    while loop allows a part of the code to be executed multiple
    times depending upon a given boolean condition. It can be
    viewed as a repeating if statement. The while loop is mostly
    used in the case where the number of iterations is not known in
    advance.
    Syntax
    while(condition){

    //code to be executed
    }

    Properties of while loop


    o A conditional expression is used to check the condition. The statements
    defined inside the while loop will repeatedly execute until the given condition
    fails.

    o In while loop, the condition expression is compulsory.

    o Running a while loop without a body is possible.

    o We can have more than one conditional expression in while loop.


    o If the loop body contains only one statement, then the braces are optional.

    do while loop
    The do while loop is a post tested loop. Using the do-while loop, we can repeat the
    execution of several parts of the statements. The do-while loop is mainly used in the
    case where we need to execute the loop at least once. The do-while loop is mostly
    used in menu-driven programs where the termination condition depends upon the
    end user.

    Syntax

    do
    {
    Statement;
    }

    while(condition);

    Flowchart of do while loop

    Here firstly statement inside body is executed then condition is checked. If the
    condition is true again body of loop is executed and this process continue until
    the condition becomes false. Unlike while loop semicolon is placed at the end of
    while. There is minor difference between while and do while loop, while loop test
    the condition before executing any of the statement of loop. Whereas do while
    loop test condition after having executed the statement at least one within the
    loop. If initial condition is false while loop would not executed it’s statement on
    other hand do while loop executed it’s statement at least once even If condition
    fails for first time. It means do while loop always executes at least once.

    For Loop

    The for loop in C language is used to iterate the statements or a part of the
    program several times. It is frequently used to traverse the data structures like the
    array and linked list.

    Syntax
    for(Expression 1; Expression 2; Expression 3){
    //code to be executed
    }

    Flowchart of for loop in C


    Here Expression 1 is an initialization expression, Expression 2 is test expression
    or condition and Expression 3 is an update expression. Expression 1 is executed
    only once when loop started and used to initialize the loop variables. Condition
    expression generally uses relational and logical operators. And updation part
    executed only when after body of the loop is executed.

    Nested Loops in C

    C supports nesting of loops in C. Nesting of loops is the feature in C that allows


    the looping of statements inside another loop.

    Any number of loops can be defined inside another loop, i.e., there is no
    restriction for defining any number of loops. The nesting level can be defined at
    n times. You can define any type of loop inside another loop; for example, you
    can define 'while' loop inside a 'for' loop.

    Syntax of Nested loop

    Outer_loop
    {
    Inner_loop
    {
    // inner loop statements.
    }
    // outer loop statements.
    }

    Nested for loop

    The nested for loop means any type of loop which is defined inside the 'for' loop.

    for (initialization; condition; update)


    {
    for(initialization; condition; update)
    {
    // inner loop statements.
    }
    // outer loop statements.
    }
