TYPES OF LOOPS
To execute statements multiple times till the specified condition is met, Loop is used.
Different types of loop are:
1. While Loop
2. The For Loop
While Loop / Conditional Loop
While Loop repeats a statement or group of statements when a given condition is true.
It tests the condition before executing the loop body.
The For Loop
For loop is used for iterating over a sequence. A for loop executes for a specific number of
times.
NESTED LOOP
When there is a loop inside another loop, it is called a nested loop. When one loop is nested
within the other, the execution of the entire program depends on the execution of the
innermost loop. The outer loop cannot complete its execution until the inner loop has
finished its execution.
APPLY LOOPS AND CONDITIONALS WITH SEQUENCING
Let us learn how to use loops and conditional with the help of sequencing.
Selection
Selection can be described as making a choice based on a criteria. Think of it as IF this
THEN that.
Selection is an important part of coding. It helps us to choose different paths and react to
situations.
Life Skill and Values
Example: ‘Is it raining today?”
If the answer to the question is true, then the algorithm follows one path.
If the answer is false, the algorithm follows a different path.
Iteration
To run a block of code specific number of times, iteration is used. Iteration can be defined
as doing or repeating the same task again and again until the specified condition is met.
Iteration is repeating situations.
