Lab Report: Iteration Statements and Jump Statements in

C++
Objective:
The primary objective of today's lab was to understand and implement
iteration and jump statements in C++. These concepts are crucial for
controlling the flow of execution in a program. By the end of the session, we
aimed to:
 Understand the syntax and application of iteration statements: for,
while, and do-while loops.

 Grasp the usage of jump statements: break, continue, and goto.

 Implement practical examples using these statements.

Introduction:
Iteration and jump statements in C++ allow programmers to manage
repetitive tasks and control the flow of execution. Iteration statements are
used when a set of instructions needs to be executed repeatedly based on a
condition. Jump statements, on the other hand, alter the flow of control by
transferring it to another part of the program.
 Iteration Statements:

a. For loop: Used when the number of iterations is known

beforehand.

b. While loop: Used when the number of iterations is not known,

and the loop continues as long as a specified condition is true.

c. Do-while loop: Similar to the while loop, but the condition is

checked after the loop is executed, ensuring at least one
iteration occurs.

 Jump Statements:

a. Break: Terminates the nearest loop or switch statement.

b. Continue: Skips the current iteration of a loop and proceeds to

the next iteration.
 c. Goto: Unconditionally jumps to a labeled statement within the
same function (although rarely used due to readability concerns).

Materials:
 Computer with a C++ compiler (e.g., GCC or Turbo C++).

 IDE or Text Editor (e.g., Visual Studio Code, Code::Blocks, or DevC++).

 C++ standard library for basic functions.

Methodology:
1. Iteration Statements:

o For Loop:

 Syntax:

cppCopyfor (initialization; condition;

increment/decrement) {
// code to be executed
}

 Example:

cppCopyfor (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {

cout << "Iteration number: " << i << endl;
}

o While Loop:

 Syntax:

cppCopywhile (condition) {
// code to be executed
}

 Example:

cppCopyint i = 1;
while (i <= 5) {
cout << "Iteration number: " << i << endl;
i++;
}

o Do-While Loop:

 Syntax:

cppCopydo {
// code to be executed
} while (condition);
  Example:

cppCopyint i = 1;
do {
cout << "Iteration number: " << i << endl;
i++;
} while (i <= 5);

2. Jump Statements:

o Break Statement:

 Syntax:

cppCopybreak;

 Example:

cppCopyfor (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {

if (i == 6) {
break; // Exit the loop when i is 6
}
cout << "Iteration number: " << i << endl;
}

o Continue Statement:

 Syntax:

cppCopycontinue;

 Example:

cppCopyfor (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {

if (i == 3) {
continue; // Skip the iteration when i is 3
}
cout << "Iteration number: " << i << endl;
}

o Goto Statement:

 Syntax:

cppCopygoto label;
// code
label:
// code

 Example:
 cppCopyfor (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
if (i == 3) {
goto skip; // Jump to the skip label
}
cout << "Iteration number: " << i << endl;
}
skip:
cout << "Skipped iteration at i = 3." << endl;

Results:
In today's lab session, we implemented and observed the behavior of
different iteration and jump statements in C++. The following results were
noted:
1. For loop: Successfully executed when the number of iterations was
predetermined.

2. While loop: Functioned correctly in scenarios where the termination

condition was evaluated at each iteration.

3. Do-while loop: Ensured that the loop body executed at least once,
regardless of the condition.

4. Break statement: Correctly terminated loops upon reaching the

specified condition.

5. Continue statement: Skipped specific iterations as intended,

allowing the loop to proceed to the next iteration.

6. Goto statement: Used to jump to a specific label within the function,

although its use was limited due to its potential for making code less
readable.

Discussion:
The iteration statements provided a clear mechanism to repeat tasks based
on specified conditions. The for, while, and do-while loops each serve
specific purposes depending on whether the number of iterations is known in
advance or if the loop should always execute at least once.
The jump statements offer more flexibility in controlling the flow of a
program, but their usage requires careful consideration to maintain
readability and avoid logical errors. The goto statement, while functional, is
generally discouraged in modern programming due to its potential to create
difficult-to-follow code. The break and continue statements are much more
commonly used for controlling loops.
Conclusion:
This lab helped solidify our understanding of iteration and jump statements
in C++. We explored the basic structure and functionality of for, while, and
do-while loops, as well as the break, continue, and goto statements. These
concepts are foundational in computer programming and serve as critical
tools for controlling program flow. The lab also emphasized the importance
of selecting the appropriate loop or jump statement for different
programming scenarios.
