An entry condition is a boolean expression (any expression that evaluates true or false) that is evaluated before each iteration of the loop executes.
Although a for statement need not specify an entry condition, it is implied. Thus the following are all valid ways of defining an infinite loop:
for (;;) {/*...*/}
for (;true;) {/*...*/}
while (true) {/*...*/}
[Although the while (true) version is considered the most readable version, the for (;;) version is a well-established method of saying "for ever".]
The do-while loop does not have an entry condition per-se because it always executes at least one iteration of the loop before evaluating the conditional expression. Thus the expression is an entry condition for the second and all subsequent iterations.
The same can be said of a goto loop, but a goto loop need not specify an entry condition at all:
again:
/*...*/;
goto again;
Iterative loops in C/C++ are represented by for(), while() and do...while() code blocks. Recursive loops are represented by functions calling themselves.
With two threads.
Iteration structures are also called as loops. The following are the loops available in c. 1. for (initialization; condition; increase/decrese) statement 2. while (expression) statement 3. do statement while (condition)
In terms of performance there is no difference whatsoever. Which version you use is usually decided by which is more appropriate for the type of loop you want to execute. for() loops allow you to combine an initial condition, a conditional expression and a loop expression in a single statement. The initial condition can include a declaration which falls from scope when the loop ends, but all expressions are optional. If a conditional expression is not declared, a conditional expression must appear in the body of the loop. while() loops are similar to for() loops, but are generally used when an initial condition and loop expression are not required, but a condition is. The condition is non-optional. do..while() loops are used when a loop must execute at least once, and a condition is not optional.
how do we use loops in c plus plus programing and what are basic differences between do,for and while loop
The only loop that does not require an entry condition is the procedural goto loop: again: /*...*/ goto again; Although a do-while loop has no entry condition per-se, it still requires a mandatory entry condition into the second and all subsequent iterations. do { /*...*/} while (true); // mandatory entry condition into all but the 1st iteration And although a for loop's condition is optional, it is implicit: for (;;) {/*..*/} // implicit for ever loop for (;true;) {/*...*/} // explicit for ever loop
All C++ programs require an entry point and the main function provides that entry point.
A conditional loop will only continue to loop while the given condition is true: while( i < 10 ) { ... } An unconditional loop either has no condition (a GOTO loop), or the condition is guaranteed to always evaluate to true: while( true ) { ... }
The for loop is another entry-controlled loop that provides a more concise loop control structure.The general form of the for loop isfor( initialization ; test condition ; increment ){body}Generally this loop is used when the either the no. of loops or the looping condition or the end condition is known.Ex.to count n no. of integers.Hope this will help.
the main difference b/w do and while loops is that do loop will run atleast once even if condition is not satisfied but while loop will not execute even once if condition is not satisfied . this is bcoz in do loop condition is checked after one execution but in while condition is prechecked.
Loops are very important part of a C-language. If we have to run our programe multiple time then we use Loops of C.
An entry point, usually main().
