Question 1b
CODE OUTPUT DESCRIPTION
example for (int i = 0; i < 10; 0123456789 The loop runs 10
i++) cout << i; cout times, each
<< endl; iteration has an
increment of 1.
A. for (int i = 1; i <= 1; * The loop executes
i++) cout << “*”; once, increments
cout << endl; once.
B. for (int i = 2; i >= 2; Runs This is an infinity
i++) cout << “*”; infinitely loop, starting from 2
cout << endl; to 2 then increment
forever.
C. for (int i = 1; i <= 1; Runs This is an infinity
i--) cout << “*”; cout infinitely loop, it starts at 1
<< endl; then decrement
forever.
D. for (int = 12; i >= 9; Error, identifier “i” is Gives an error
i--) cout << “*”; cout not defined because we do not
<< endl; have i. If it were
there it would
execute 4 times,
starting at 12
decrementing to 9.
it runs as long as i
is greater than 9
E. for (int i = 0; i <= 5; ***** The loop runs 5
i++) cout << “*”; times
cout << endl;
F. for (int i = 0; i <= 5; Error, identifier “i” is Gives an error
i++) cout << “*”; i = i not because we do not
+ 1; have i. If there were
brackets and i=i+1
was
cout << endl; defined inside with
cout<<”*” , it would
have printed *****
Question 1c.
//including the for loop.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

{
// a for loop that execute 10 times.

// cout << 'x' ;
//changing the for loop into a while loop
int n = 9;
int i = 0;
while (i <= n)
