    As Level Programming-Loops

    The document discusses different types of loops in AS level programming: while loops, repeat loops, and for loops. While loops execute as long as a given condition is true. Repeat loops iterate until a condition becomes true. For loops iterate a specific number of times as defined by the loop counter. Examples are provided for each loop type to illustrate their usage, such as taking integer inputs from the user until a certain number is entered or iterating a set number of times to calculate a running total.

    As level Programming

    Loops
    Iteration
    Repeat the same steps no of times controlled by a condition.
    There are 3 types of loops:

    • Pre-condition loop – WHILE loop


    • Post-condition loop- REPEAT loop
    • Counter controlled loop – FOR loop

    WHILE Loop
    • Entering the loop only if the given condition is TRUE
    EX: Take 10 integer inputs from the user and output the total.

    declare num,count,total:integer
    count ← 0
    total ← 0
    WHILE count< 10
    OUTPUT "enter the integer number: "
    INPUT num
    total ← total + num
    count ← count + 1
    ENDWHILE
    OUTPUT total

    1
    START

    count ← 0
    total ← 0

    No
    count< 10

    yes

    OUTPUT "enter the integer


    number: "

    INPUT num number: "

    total ← total + num

    count ← count + 1

    OUTPUT total

    END

    Q)
    1. Take 10 integer inputs from the user and output the total number of odd values and
    even values separately.
    2. Take integer inputs until the user enter 5 odd numbers.

    REPEAT Loop
    • Keep iterating until a given condition becomes TRUE

    declare num,count,total:integer
    count ← 0
    total ← 0
    REPEAT
    OUTPUT "enter the number: "
    INPUT num
    total ← total + num
    count ← count + 1
    UNTIL count=10
    OUTPUT total

    END

    count ← 0
    total ← 0

    OUTPUT "enter the number: "

    INPUT num

    total ← total + num


    count ← count + 1

    yes
    If count=10
    No
    OUTPUT total

    END

    • Rogue value: a value used to terminate a repetition. It should be same data type of the
    variable but out of the expected value range.
    Q)
    1. Take integer inputs from the user until the user enter -1. Output the total of the
    input numbers.

    FOR LOOP
    Structure
    FOR count← initializing_value TO limit STEP n
    <statements>
    ENDFOR

    • Step syntax is optional


    • Instead of ‘TO’ syntax, the syntax ‘DOWNTO’ can be used to decrease the count in a FOR
    LOOP

    Eg: The loop will continue for a given number of times. Controlled by a counter
    variable.

    declare count,num,total:integer

    total ← 0
    FOR count←1 to 5
    OUTPUT "enter an integer: "
    INPUT num
    total ← total + num
    ENDFOR
    OUTPUT total

    4
    START

    total ← 0

    count ← 1

    OUTPUT "enter the number: "

    INPUT num
    count ← count + 1

    total ← total + num

    YES
    If count<5

    NO

    OUTPUT total

    END
