1 Lecture 8: Choosing the Correct Loop

2 do … while Repetition Statement Similar to the while statement Condition for repetition only tested after the body of the loop is performed. All actions are performed at least once. Format do { statement(s); } while ( condition ); Flowcharting the do…while repetition statement Suggestion: always include braces in a do…while statement even if the braces are not nessary.

3 do … while Repetition Statement Example 1 (letting counter = 1): do { printf( "%d ", counter ); } while (++counter <= 10); Prints the integers from 1 to 10 Example 2: Simple calculator using do…while statement Can now do something before testing a condition to see if we should repeat it. "code, while, code" can now do "do code, while"

4 Flowcharting for the simple calculator Using the while statement begin Print the calculator menu; Input the operation; false end true case Addition true Input two numbers; Perform addition; Print result; break false case Subtraction true Input two numbers; Perform subtraction; Print result; break false case multiplication true Input two numbers; Perform multiplication; Print result; break false case division true Input two numbers; Perform division; Print result; break false default Print message operation != Exit Print the calculator menu; Input the operation; case Exit true Print messagebreak false

5 Flowcharting for the simple calculator Using the do…while statement begin Print the calculator menu; Input the operation; false end case Addition true Input two numbers; Perform addition; Print result; break false case Subtraction true Input two numbers; Perform subtraction; Print result; break false case multiplication true Input two numbers; Perform multiplication; Print result; break false case division true Input two numbers; Perform division; Print result; break false default Print message operation != Exit case Exit true Print “ Thanks ” break false true

6 break Statement Cause immediate exit from a while, for, do…while or switch statement. Program execution continues with the first statement after the structure Common uses of the break statement Escape early from a loop Skip the remainder of a switch statement

7 break Statement Example break immediately ends for loop

8 continue Statement Skips the remaining statements in the body of a while, for or do…while statement. Proceeds with the next iteration of the loop while and do…while Loop-continuation test is evaluated immediately after the continue statement is executed The for statement Increment expression is executed, then the loop- continuation test is evaluated.

9 continue Statement Example continue skips to end of for loop and performs next iteration

10 Write a program that checks to see if a number the user inputs is a prime number or not. If the number is prime, the program should exit. Otherwise, the program should keep asking the user for a new number.  Use a do/while loop to control the looping.  Provide appropriate feedback to the user (prime or not).  Use the % operator to conduct your checks. (Hint: The % operator returns the remainder.)  Try to make the program as short as possible. Submit your completed program in the Prime Numbers dropbox. In-Class Programming Exercise Challenge: 4.17

11 In mathematics, a prime number is a positive integer which has exactly two distinct divisors: 1 and itself. If none of 2, 3, …,  n/2  is a divisor of n, than n is prime. If one of 2, 3, …,  n/2  is a divisor of n, than n is NOT prime. Prime Number

12 begin Input the number (> 2) tag==TRUE false true Determine if the number is prime and set the tag end Print the number is prime.

13 begin Input the number (> 2) end tag==TRUE true false divisor = 2 tag = TRUE remainder==0 divisor ++; divisor<=number/2 remainder = number % divisor tag = FALSE; break; true false Print the number is prime. true Determine if the number is prime and set the tag
