Module 3.2 – Do-While Loop Structure
do-while statement
- This loop executes a block of code if the specified condition is true.
- It is a post checked loop because it checks the controlling condition after the body of the loop is
executed.
- Guaranteed to execute at least once.
Components of a loop:
• Initialization
• Condition
• Body
• Update
Syntax and Flowchart:
The body (block of codes you
want to repeat) would be
repeated if the condition is true.
Otherwise, the loop would be
exited.
Sample Problems
1. Write a C program that would print the phrase “Hello World!” 5 times. (There can be more than 1
way to code this program, I will be showing you two solutions.)
Test run:
Hello World!
Hello World!
Hello World!
Hello World!
Hello World!
#include<stdio.h> Initialization: start your counter variable’s
int main() value to 1. (ctr=1)
{ Condition: your loop will continue if ctr is still
int ctr = 1; //ctr is your counter variable less than or equal to 5.
do Your loop will repeat five times.
{ Body: the statement to be repeated.
printf("Hello World!\n"); Updating: you can use prefix or postfix
ctr++; //update
}while(ctr<=5); //condition
}
#include<stdio.h> Initialization: start your counter variable’s
int main() value to 0. (ctr=0)
{ Condition: your loop will continue if ctr is still
int ctr = 0; //ctr is your counter variable less than 5. Your condition can change
do depending on the initial value of your
{ counter.
printf("Hello World!\n"); Your loop will still repeat five times.
ctr++; //update Body: the statement to be repeated.
}while(ctr<5); //condition Updating: you can use prefix or postfix

2. Write a C program that would print the pattern below:
Test run: #include<stdio.h>
int main()
***** {
***** int ctr = 1; //initialization
***** do
***** {
***** printf("*****\n"); //”\n” is to go to the next line
ctr++; //update
}while(ctr<=5); //controlling condition
}
3. Write a C program that would print all the even numbers between 1 to 100, inclusive.
Test run:
Even numbers from 1–100: 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36
38 40 42 44 46 48 50 52 54 56 58 60 62 64 66 68 70 72 74 76 78 80 82 84 86
88 90 92 94 96 98 100
#include<stdio.h> Notes:
int main()
{ Inclusive means start with 1 and end
int ctr = 1; with 100.The starting and
printf(“Even number from 1-100: “); ending values in the range is
do
included.
{
if(ctr%2 == 0)
{
printf("%d ", ctr);
}
ctr++; //or ++ctr;
}while(ctr<=100);
}
4. Write a C program that would print all the odd numbers between 1 to 100, exclusive.
Test run:
Odd numbers from 22-999: 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27
29 31 33 35 37 39 41 43 45 47 49 51 53 55 57 59 61 63
65 67 69 71 73 75 77 79 81 83 85 87 89 91 93 95 97 99
#include<stdio.h> Notes:
int main()
{ Exclusive means start with 2 and
int ctr = 2; end with 99. The starting and
printf(“Odd numbers from 1-100: “); ending values in the range is not
do
{ included.
if(ctr%2 == 1)
{
printf("%d ", ctr);
}
ctr++; //or ++ctr;
}while(ctr<100);
}

5. Write a C program that would ask the user for the starting and ending value of a range and print
all the even numbers within it, inclusive. The first number should be lesser than the second
number, and both numbers should be positive, otherwise display “Invalid Range”
Test run:
Start: 2 Start: 0
End: 10 End: 20
Even numbers within 2-10: 2 4 6 8 10 Even numbers within 0-20: 0 2 4 6 8
10 12 14 16 18 20
Start: 200
End: 150 Start: -5
Invalid Range End: 10
Invalid Range
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int min, max, ctr;
printf("Start: ");
scanf("%d", &min);
printf("End: ");
scanf("%d", &max);
//initialize counter
ctr = min;
//check if min is less than max and are both positive
if((min<max) && (min >=0) && (max>=0))
{
//outside the loop so will be repeated only once
printf("Even numbers within %d-%d: ", min, max);
do
{
if(ctr%2 == 0)
{
printf("%d ", ctr);
}
ctr++; //update
}while(ctr<=max);
}
else
{
printf("Invalid Range");
}
}
