while Statement 

Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSE110 | Summer 2020 | 4 The while Statement • The while statement has the following syntax: 

Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSE110 | Summer 2020 | 5 Logic of a while Loop zero or more 

Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSE110 | Summer 2020 | 6 Example 1 

Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSE110 | Summer 2020 | 7 The while Statement • Note that if the condition of a while statement is false initially, the statement is never executed • Therefore, the body of a while loop will execute zero or more times 

Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSE110 | Summer 2020 | 8 Infinite Loops • The body of a while loop eventually must make the condition false • If not, it is an infinite loop, which will execute until the user interrupts the program 

Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSE110 | Summer 2020 | 9 Example 2 

Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSE110 | Summer 2020 | 10 Nested Loops • Similar to nested if statements, loops can be nested as well. That is, the body of a loop can contain another loop • Each time through the outer loop, the inner loop goes through its full set of iterations

do-while Statement 

Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSE110 | Summer 2020 | 13 The do-while Statement • The do-while statement has the following syntax: 

Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSE110 | Summer 2020 | 14 Logic of a do-while Loop one or more 

Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSE110 | Summer 2020 | 15 Example 4 

Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSE110 | Summer 2020 | 16 The do-while Statement • A do loop is similar to a while loop, except that the condition is evaluated after the body of the loop is executed • Therefore the body of a do loop will execute at least once
