Important Short Questions
From Past papers(2014-19)
 Write any two uses of loop. (1-times)
 Define while loop. (3-times)
 Make a flowchart of while loop.(3-times)
 Define sentinel control loop.(6-time)
 Write syntax of while loop.(1-times)
 Define counter variable.(1-times)
 Define for loop.(1-time)
 Write syntax of for loop.(4-time)
 Write nested loop.(5-time)
 Difference b/w inner and outer loop.(2-times)
 What is infinite loop?(3-times)
Ans: A loop in which the ending condition never occurs is called infinite loop. It
represents forever until the user intervenes to stop loop.
 What is meant by loop?(1-time)
 What is counter controlled loop?(3-times)
 Define sentinal values.(2-time)
Ans: A special value used to terminate a sentinel controlled loop is called sentinel
value.For example, a loop may execute while the value of a variable is not -1.Here -1 is
sentinel value that is used to terminate the loop.
 Why is the sentinel value used in loop?(1-time)
Note:- Error finding and predict output question are not included in this segment.For
these questions follow it series book.
