While loops and for loops: Correct Solution

Part 1

Consider the following code:

A
B
C
while (D) {
    E
    if (F) {
        G
        break;
    }
    H
    I
}
J
K

  1. Assume the loop breaks on iteration 2. Write out the the order in which the statements will execute.

  2. Assume the loop breaks on iteration 3. Write out the the order in which the statements will execute.

Solution

  1. Order:

    A B C D E F G H I D E F J K

  2. Order:

    A B C D E F G H I D E F G H I D E F J K

Part 2

Translate the following natural language description of a loop into a for loop:

Declare a variable named cer of type int, initialized to ocs. Then, until cer is greater than or equal to cec, decrement cer.

Solution

for (int cer = ocs; cer > cec; cer--) {
    ...
}
