Loops Types in C Programming

A loop statement allows us to execute a statement or group of statements multiple times.

C programming language provides the following types of loops to handle looping requirements.

•  while Loop

A while loop in C programming repeatedly executes a target statement as long as a given condition is true.
Syntax
The syntax of a while loop in C programming language is:

• FOR LOOP

A for loop is a repetition control structure that allows you to efficiently write a loop that needs to execute a specific number of times.
Syntax
The syntax of a for loop in C programming language is:

•  do…while Loop

Unlike for and while loops, which test the loop condition at the top of the loop, the do...while loop in C programming checks its condition at the bottom of the loop.
A do...while loop is similar to a while loop, except the fact that it is guaranteed to execute at least one time.
Syntax
The syntax of a do...while loop in C programming language is:

•  

•  Nested Loops

C programming allows to use one loop inside another loop. The following section shows a few examples to illustrate the concept.
Syntax
The syntax for a nested for loop statement in C is as follows:

 The syntax for a nested while loop statement in C programming language is as follows:

           The syntax for a nested do...while loop statement in C programming language is as follows:

Loops and Conditions Statements in C programming

An if statement consists of a Boolean expression followed by one or more statements. 
An if statement can be followed by an optional else statement, which executes when the Boolean expression is false. An if statement can be followed by an optional else if...else statement, which is very useful to test various conditions using single if...else if statement.

It is always legal in C programming to nest if-else statements, which means you can use one if or else if statement inside another if or else if statement(s).
A switch statement allows a variable to be tested for equality against a list of values. Each value is called a case, and the variable being switched on is checked for each switch case.

A while loop in C programming repeatedly executes a target statement as long as a given condition is true.
Unlike for and while loops, which test the loop condition at the top of the loop, the do...while loop in C programming checks its condition at the bottom of the loop. A do...while loop is similar to a while loop, except the fact that it is guaranteed to execute at least one time.
