In this tutorial, we will begin our discussion by understanding the meaning of the term Loops<\/strong>\u00a0followed by \u201cIteration\u201d or \u201cLooping\u201d. It is important to note that the terms \u201cIteration\u201d and \u201cLooping\u201d can be used interchangeably. Then, we will lay emphasis on how and why is looping done in C and C++. Further, we will discuss the significance of loops in C and C++. Then, we will move towards discussing its types in detail followed by control statements.<\/p>\n

It is important to have a great command over this topic to ease your way out in C and C++ programming as it plays an integral role while working with repetitive statements.<\/p>\n

We all know how cumbersome it is to give a separate print statement each time we wish to display something, right? We can easily resolve this issue by covering every topic in detail to master the concept of looping.<\/p>\n

It’s just a nice way to see how much you know, or don’t know. Test your learnings with a fascinating quiz at the end.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

1. What are Loops in C and C++?<\/h2>\n

Loops are nothing but a segment of code we use to repeat a specific block of code. It is important to note that \u2018loop\u2019 is a concept and \u2018looping\u2019 refers to a process to implement loops in C and C++.<\/em><\/p>\n

Iteration or looping refers to the specified sequence in which a pattern or a block of code is repeated until the condition becomes no longer true. As long as the condition remains to be true, the loop is executed. It is terminated when the condition is false or no longer satisfied.<\/em><\/p>\n

Every loop has two parts:<\/p>\n

1.1 Body of the loop<\/h4>\n

It consists of the content, like the print statement or a fragment of code which we want to run multiple times.<\/p>\n

1.2 Control Statement<\/h4>\n

These statements control the execution of the loop and are important for loop termination.<\/p>\n

Since we now got an idea as to what are loops in C\/C++, let\u2019s acknowledge its importance by thinking about its significance.<\/p>\n
