While loops and for loops: Correct Solution

Part 1

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

Declare a variable named ti of type int, initialized to u. Then, until ti is less than or equal to ansqa, multiply ti by 2.

Solution

for (int ti = u; ti < ansqa; ti *= 2) {
    ...
}

Something to double-check in your solution:

• Note that the problem says “until,” not “while.” Did you use the correct operator in the loop’s end condition (ti < ansqa)?

Part 2

Consider the following code:

A
B
C
for (D; E; F) {
    G
}
H
I
J

1. Assume the body of the loop executes 1 time. Write out the the order in which the statements will execute.

2. Assume the body of the loop executes 2 times. Write out the the order in which the statements will execute.

Solution

1. Order:

   A B C D E F G F H I J

2. Order:

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