3. Identify the appropriatemethod for handlingrepetition Lesson Overview Students will identify the appropriate method for handling repetition. In this lesson, you will learn: for loops while loops do..while loops Recursion
4. Identify the appropriatemethod for handlingrepetition Iterations in Real Life An iteration is the act of repeating a set of steps to perform a task. For example: Turn the screwdriver until the screw is tight. Rub my hands under the air dryer until they are dry. Iterations are modeled in computers. For example: (C#) for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) Console.WriteLine(“I repeat ten times”);
5. Identify the appropriatemethod for handlingrepetition The while Loop Allows code to be repeated so long as a Boolean condition is met. The condition is evaluated before the code is executed. Can be used when the number of iterations is not known before executing the loop. inti = 0; // Initialization while (i < 5) // Condition { Console.WriteLine(i); i = i + 1; // Increment }
6. Identify the appropriatemethod for handlingrepetition The for Loop Allows code to be repeated using a loop counter to control how many times it repeats. Used when the number of iterations is known before executing the loop. Initialization ConditionIncrement for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { Console.WriteLine(i); }
7. Identify the appropriatemethod for handlingrepetition while Loop vs. for Loop string line = "default"; while (line != "") { Console.Write("Enter a word (while):"); line = Console.ReadLine(); } Console.WriteLine(); for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { Console.Write("Enter a word (for) :"); line = Console.ReadLine(); }
8. Identify the appropriatemethod for handlingrepetition The do-while Loop Allows code to be repeated so long as a Boolean condition is met. The condition is evaluated after the code is already executed once. Can be used when the number of iterations is not known before string line = “default”; do { Console.WriteLine(“Enter a word:”); line = Console.ReadLine(); } while (line != null);
9. Identify the appropriatemethod for handlingrepetition while Loop vs. do-while Loop A do-while loop will execute at least once. A while loop might not execute at all. Console.WriteLine(“Enter a word:”); String line = Console.ReadLine(); while (line != null) { Console.WriteLine(“Enter a word:”); line = Console.ReadLine(); } do { Console.WriteLine(“Enter a word:”); line = Console.ReadLine(); } while (line != null)
10. Identify the appropriatemethod for handlingrepetition Counting from 1 to 10 with Different Loops for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) { Console.WriteLine(i); } inti = 1; while (i <= 10) { Console.WriteLine(i); i++; } inti = 1; do { Console.WriteLine(i); i++; } while (i <= 10);
11. Identify the appropriatemethod for handlingrepetition Scope Errors for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { Console.Writeline(i); } Console.WriteLine(i); // syntax error // i is a local variable
12. Identify the appropriatemethod for handlingrepetition Recursion Recursion occurs when a method calls itself to solve another version of the same problem. With each recursive call, the problem becomes simpler and moves toward a base case. The base case is reached when no other recursive call is required. A base case is the point when no other recursive calls are made.
13. Identify the appropriatemethod for handlingrepetition Factorials public int fact(int n) { if (n == 1) return 1; else return n * fact(n - 1); } fact (4) 24 fact (4) 4 * fact (3) 6 fact (3) 3 * fact (2) 2 fact (2) 2 * fact (1) 1 fact (1)
14. Identify the appropriatemethod for handlingrepetition public int identity(int num) { if(num < 1) return 10; else return num + identity(num - 2); }
15. Assignment 1. Transform the following while loop into a for loop. int num = 1; while (num < 20) { Console.WriteLine(num); num = num + 1; } 2. Transform the following for loop into a while loop. for (int num = 1; num < 20; num = num+1) Console.WriteLine(num); 3. Transform the following while loop into a for loop int num = 10; while (num >= 0) { Console.WriteLine(num); num = num - 1; } 4. Whatoutput is produced by the following code? for (int x = 0; x < 3; x++) Console.WriteLine(x*3); 5. How many lines of output will the following code produce? for (int x = 0; x < 13; x=x+2) Console.WriteLine(“line”);
16. Answer 1. for (int num = 1; num < 20; num = num+1) Console.WriteLine(num); 2. int num = 1; while (num < 10) { Console.WriteLine(num); num = num + 1; } 3. for (int num = 10; num >= 0; num = num-1) Console.WriteLine(num); 4. 0 3 6 5. 7
