While loops and for loops: Correct Solution


Part 1

Translate the following while loop into a for loop:

int po = be;
while (po < ath) {
    po /= 2;
    lerlex(po, 28);
}

Solution

for (int po = be; po < ath; po /= 2) {
    lerlex(po, 28);
}

Part 2

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

Declare a variable named sasi of type long, initialized to epra. Then, until sasi is greater than hiBied, increment sasi.

Solution

for (long sasi = epra; sasi >= hiBied; sasi++) {
    ...
}

Part 3

Consider the following code:

A
B
C
while (D) {
    E
    if (F) {
        G
        break;
    }
    H
    I
}
J
  1. Assume the loop ends because the test condition of the loop is false on iteration 1. Write out the the order in which the statements will execute.

  2. Assume the loop ends because the test condition of the loop is false on iteration 3. Write out the the order in which the statements will execute.

Solution

  1. Order:

    A B C D E H I J
  2. Order:

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