C Nested Loops

The document explains the concept of nested loops in the C programming language, detailing the syntax for nested for, while, and do...while loops. It emphasizes that any type of loop can be nested within another type. An example program is provided to demonstrate the use of nested loops to find prime numbers between 2 and 100.

NESTED LOOPS IN C

http://www.tutorialspoint.com/cprogramming/c_nested_loops.htm Copyright © tutorialspoint.com

C programming language allows to use one loop inside another loop. Following section shows few
examples to illustrate the concept.

Syntax:
The syntax for a nested for loop statement in C is as follows:

for ( init; condition; increment )


{
for ( init; condition; increment )
{
statement(s);
}
statement(s);
}

The syntax for a nested while loop statement in C programming language is as follows:

while(condition)
{
while(condition)
{
statement(s);
}
statement(s);
}

The syntax for a nested do...while loop statement in C programming language is as follows:

do
{
statement(s);
do
{
statement(s);
}while( condition );

}while( condition );

A final note on loop nesting is that you can put any type of loop inside of any other type of loop. For
example, a for loop can be inside a while loop or vice versa.

Example:
The following program uses a nested for loop to find the prime numbers from 2 to 100:

#include <stdio.h>

int main ()
{
/* local variable definition */
int i, j;

for(i=2; i<100; i++) {


for(j=2; j <= (i/j); j++)
if(!(i%j)) break; // if factor found, not prime
if(j > (i/j)) printf("%d is prime\n", i);
}

return 0;
}

When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following result:

2 is prime
3 is prime
5 is prime
7 is prime
11 is prime
13 is prime
17 is prime
19 is prime
23 is prime
29 is prime
31 is prime
37 is prime
41 is prime
43 is prime
47 is prime
53 is prime
59 is prime
61 is prime
67 is prime
71 is prime
73 is prime
79 is prime
83 is prime
89 is prime
97 is prime
