Topics Covered
1. Loops
2. Continue, Break

Loops

Activity 1

Write a program in C to display the n terms of odd natural number and their
sum.

Test Data
Input number of terms : 10

Expected Output :
The odd numbers are :1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19
The Sum of odd Natural Number upto 10 terms : 100

Activity 2

Write a program in C to display the pattern like right angle triangle with a
number.

The pattern like:

1
12
123
1234

Activity 3

Write a program in C to display the n terms of square natural number and their
sum.
Break Statement
1 4 9 16 ... n Terms

Test Data:
Input the number of terms : 5

Expected Output:
The square natural upto 5 terms are :1 4 9 16 25
The Sum of Square Natural Number upto 5 terms = 55

Break

The break is a keyword in C which is used to bring the program control out of the loop.
The break statement is used inside loops or switch statement. The break statement breaks the
loop one by one, i.e., in the case of nested loops, it breaks the inner loop first and then
proceeds to outer loops.

Computing Fundamentals Lab 4

Syntax:

for (counter_initialization; test_condition; counter_increment)

{
//statement(s)
if(test_condition)
break;
//statement(s)
}
//outer statement(s)

Example-01

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int num =0;
while(num<=100)
{
printf("value of variable num is: %d\n", num);
if (num==2)
{
break;
}
num++;
}
printf("Out of while-loop");
return 0;
}

Output:
value of variable num is: 0
value of variable num is: 1
value of variable num is: 2
Out of while-loop

Computing Fundamentals Lab 4

Example-02

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int var;
for (var =100; var>=10; var --)
{
printf("var: %d\n", var);
if (var==99)
{
break;
}
}
printf("Out of for-loop");
return 0;
}

Output:
var: 100
var: 99
Out of for-loop

Activity 4

Write a program in C to read 10 numbers from keyboard and find their sum. If
sum exceeds the value of 100 program should break otherwise find the
average.

Activity 5

Write a C program to calculate the factorial of a number given by user. Break

the program if user entered the number greater than 15 otherwise calculate
and display the factorial.

Activity 6

Write a program in C to display the number given by user in reverse order.

Break the program if the given number contains more than 6 digits otherwise
display it in reverse order.

Continue Statement

The continue statement in C programming works somewhat like the break statement. Instead
of forcing termination, it forces the next iteration of the loop to take place, skipping any code
in between. For the for loop, continue statement causes the conditional test and increment
portions of the loop to execute.

Syntax:

for (counter_initialization; test_condition; counter_increment)

{
//statement(s)
if(test_condition)
continue;
//statement(s)
}

Example-03

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int counter=10;
while (counter >=0)
{
if (counter==7)
{
counter--;
continue;
}
printf("%d ", counter);
counter--;
}
return 0;
}

Output:
10 9 8 6 5 4 3 2 1 0

Example-04

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int j=0;
do

Computing Fundamentals Lab 4

 {
if (j==7)
{
j++;
continue;
}
printf("%d ", j);
j++;
}while(j<10);
return 0;
}

Output:
012345689

Activity 7

Write a program in C to read 20 numbers from user using for loop, count the
odd numbers and skip the even numbers by using continue statement.

Also find the sum, average and largest odd number from the entered
numbers.

Activity 8

Modify the program in activity 4 to count the prime numbers from the 20
entered numbers by user and skip the other ones.

Use both do while and while loop to program the code.
