LAB # 5: Iterative Structures

Software Requirement(s): MS Visual Studio

Lab Objectives:
In this lab, we will explore iterative structures like while, do-while, and for loops to repeat code
based on specific conditions. The while loop is used when the number of iterations is unknown,
the do-while loop ensures at least one execution, and the for loop is ideal for fixed iterations. We
will also work with nested loops and control statements like break and continue to manage loop
behavior and solve practical programming tasks.

Lab Tasks
1. Write a program that calculates the factorial of a number using a while loop. Ensure that
the user enters a non-negative integer.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
int n;
long long factorial = 1; // Using long long for large result

cout << "Enter a number: ";

cin >> n;
if (n < 0) {
cout << "Error: Factorial of a negative number doesn't exist.";
} else {
while (n > 0) {
factorial = factorial * n;
n = n - 1;
}
cout << "Factorial = " << factorial;
}

return 0;
}

2. Extend the Course registration task, from Lab 4 to incorporate multiple registrations
using loops.

8. int enrolled;
9. string status;

13. {

15. cout << "Enter Statics status (pass/fail): ";
16. cin >> status;
17. for (int i = 0; i < [Link](); i++)
18. {
19. status[i] = tolower(status[i]);
20. }
21.
22. cout << "Enter number of students enrolled in Dynamics: ";
23. cin >> enrolled;
24.
25. if (status != "pass")
26. {
27. cout << "You cannot register for Dynamics.\n";
28. cout << "Reason: Statics prerequisite not cleared.\n";
29. }
30. else
31. {
32. if (enrolled >= capacity)
33. {
34. cout << "Course is FULL.\n";
35. cout << "Suggested Alternative: Register next semester.\n";
36. }
37. else
38. {
39. cout << "Congratulations! You are eligible for Dynamics.\n";

44. cin >> choice;
45.
46. } while (choice == 'y' || choice == 'Y');
47.
48.
49. return 0;
50. }

3. Write a program where the user has to guess a pseudo-random number (hard coded by you
in the program) between 1 and 100. The program should provide hints such as "Too high" or
"Too low" and stop when the correct number is guessed.

4. Develop a program that simulates a restaurant ordering system. The user should be able to
choose a meal from a menu using a switch-case statement, enter the quantity, and calculate
the total bill. Use a loop to allow multiple orders and an if-else condition for applying
discounts on orders exceeding a specific amount. Calculate and print the complete bill on the
console.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int choice, quantity;
double price = 0, total = 0, discount = 0;
char more;

do
{

cout << "1. Burger - Rs. 500\n";

cout << "2. Pizza - Rs. 1200\n";
cout << "3. Biryani - Rs. 350\n";
cout << "4. Sandwich - Rs. 250\n";
cout << "5. Exit\n";

cout << "Enter your choice: ";

cin >> choice;

if (choice == 5)
break;

cout << "Enter quantity: ";

cin >> quantity;

switch (choice)
{

break;

case 4:
price = 250;

default:
cout << "Invalid Choice!\n";
continue;
}

total += price * quantity;

cout << "Item added successfully!\n";

cout << "Do you want to order more? (y/n): ";

cin >> more;

} while (more == 'y' || more == 'Y');

if (total > 3000)

{
discount = total * 0.10;
cout << "\nDiscount Applied: 10%\n";
}

double finalBill = total - discount;

cout << "Total Amount: Rs. " << total << endl;
cout << "Discount: Rs. " << discount << endl;
cout << "Amount to Pay: Rs. " << finalBill << endl;

return 0;

51. Develop a program that simulates an online quiz system where users answer multiple-
choice questions and receive a score based on their responses. The quiz should consist of
five questions, each with four options (A, B, C, D). A for loop should be used to iterate
through the questions, prompting the user for their answer. A switch-case statement
should then evaluate the selected answer and assign points accordingly. Additionally, an
if-else condition should validate user input to ensure only valid options (A, B, C, or D)
are accepted. At the end of the quiz, the program should display the final score along with
feedback based on performance, for instance, a perfect score (5/5) should display
"Excellent! You got a perfect score. Finally, a while loop should allow users to retake the
quiz by asking if they want to try again. If the user chooses 'Y', the quiz restarts;
otherwise, the program exits.
