Course Objectives
The course aims to provide a strong foundation
in problem-solving using the C programming
language.
It enhances students' programming skills by
developing logical thinking and algorithmic
problem-solving abilities
By mastering C programming concepts, students
will be able to design and implement efficient
solutions for real-world problems 2

• Nested Loops
• Types of Nested Loops
• Examples
CONTENTS
NESTED LOOP
• The while loop is used to repeat one or more statements while a
particular condition is true.
• In the while loop, the condition is tested before any of the
statements in the statement block is executed.
• If the condition is true, only then the statements will be executed
otherwise the control will jump to the immediate statement outside
the while loop block.
• We must constantly update the condition of the while loop.
NESTED LOOP SYNTAX
Syntax
outer_loop
{
inner_loop
{
// Inner loop statement/s
}
// Outer loop statement/s
}
There are two conditions that are given.
1. The inner loop condition gets executed only when the
outer loop condition gives the Boolean output as
True. Else the flow control directly goes out of both
Working of the loops.
2. Now coming into the execution of the inner loop, If
Nested Loop the loop condition gives a true result, then the block
of statements under that loop and the incremental
condition gets executed.
3. And in turn, if the condition gives a Boolean condition
as False, then the inner loop gives its control back to
the outer loop and again same conditions/loops gets
executed/repeated.
Program 1 of Nested do-
while loop
#include <stdio.h> Explanation:
int main() •First, we initialize the outer loop counter variable, i.e., 'i' by 1.
{ •As we know that the do..while loop executes once without
int i=1; checking the condition, so the inner loop is executed without
do // outer loop checking the condition in the outer loop.
{ •After the execution of the inner loop, the control moves to the
int j=1; update of the i++.
do // inner loop •When the loop counter value is incremented, the condition is
{ checked. If the condition in the outer loop is true, then the
printf("*"); inner loop is executed.
j++; This process will continue until the condition in the outer loop
}while(j<=8); is true
printf("\n");
i++;
}while(i<=4);
}
Program 2 of Nested for
loop
Summary
• A loop within another loop is called nested loop. C programming
language supports nesting of one loop inside another.
• We can define any number of loops inside another loop. And also have
any number of nesting level.
• Write for loop inside while loop, while inside another while etc. A
programmer nest up to 3 loops. But there is no limit of nesting in C.
• It always executes the code block at least once and furthermore as long
as the condition remains true
FAQ
Q1 Print the pattern
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i,j;
for(j=1;j<=5;j++)
{
for(i=1;i<=j;i++)
printf("%5d",i);
printf("\n\n");
}
for(j=4;j>=1;j--)
{
for(i=1;i<=j;i++)
printf("%5d",i);
printf("\n\n");
}
return 0;
}
FAQ
Q2 Print the reverse pattern
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i,j;
for(j=5;j>=1;j--)
{
for(i=j;i>=1;i--)
printf("%5d",i);
printf("\n\n");
}
return 0;
}
