Nested Loop

Nested
Loop
▪ Just like nested if else C allows the looping of statements inside another
loop
▪ There is no restriction for defining any number of loops. The nesting level
can be defined at n times.
▪ Example :
Outer_loop {
//outer loop statements…
Inner_loop {
// inner loop statements.
}
// outer loop statements.
}
Nested for loop
Syntax
for(initialization; condition; update loop variable)
{
// statement 1
………………………….

for(initialization; condition; update loop variable)

{
// Inner loop statements
}
// statement n
}
Nested while loop
Syntax
while(condition)
{
//outer loop statements.
while(condition)
{
// inner loop
statements.
}
// outer loop statements.
}
Nested do…while loop
Syntax
do {
// statements

do {
// Inner loop
statements
}while(condition);

// statements

}while(condition);
Nested for loop Example
Code
for(outVariable initialization ; condition; update outVariable)
{
// statement 1
outer
loop

………………………….
Inner
loop

for(inVariable initialization; condition; update inVariable) {

// Inner loop statements
}
// statement n
}
 Nested for loop Example
Code
for(i=1; i<=2; i++) { Outer loop Inner loop
for(j=1; j<=2; j++) { Value of i condition Execution Value of j condition Execution
printf(“i:%d, ;1 1<=2, True Execute inner loop 1 1<=2,true i:1,j:1
2 2<=2,true i:1,j:2
j:%d\n”,i,j)
3 3<=2,false
} 2 2<=2,True Execute inner loop 1 1<=2,true i:2,j:1
2 2<=2,true i:2,j:2
} 3 3<=2,false
3 3<=2,False
Nested for loop Example 2(printing
stars)
for(i=1 ; i<=3 ; i++){ Sample Output
printf(“*”);
***
}
Nested for loop Example 3(printing
pattern) Sample Output
for(i=1 ; i<=3 ; i++){
***
for(j=1 ; j<=3; j++){ ***
***
printf(“*”);
} What will be the Output for this code?

*********
} How to solve?
Outer loop indicates/defines the row
Where to put the newline statement?
Inner loop indicated/defines the column
Nested for loop Example 3(printing

***
for(j=1 ; j<=3; j++){ ***

}
printf(“\n”);
}
Outer loop indicates/defines the row

Nested for loop Example 4(printing
pattern) Take input of a number n and print a
for(i=1 ; i<=n ; i++){ pattern
Intput: n=3
for(j=1 ; j<=i; j++){ Sample Output
1
printf(“%d”,j) 12
; 123
Input: n=4
} Sample output
1
printf(“\n”); 12
123
}

Nested for loop Example 5(printing
pattern) Take input of a number n and print a
for(i=1 ; i<=n ; i++){ pattern
for(j=0 ; j<i; j++){ Intput: n=3
Sample Output
printf(“%d”,n- 3
j);
32
} 321
