Help with Nested Loops, C

Apr 3rd, 2007

Please help I'm trying to write a program in C using nested loops which has an output of 1-8 (newline) 2-9 (newline) 3-10 (newline) 4-11(newline) 5-12. I wrote a program but I know it has to be a simplier way and I don't think I used nested loops correctly because the first for statement is irrilevant. PLEASE HELP

First, format your code properly.

What does your book/instructor say about a FOR loop and/or statement? What's it do? What does it execute?

What does the program you wrote do? What does it not do?

The for loop allows one or more statements to be repeated for a specific number of times. It initializes a value, does a conditional test and increments or decrements???

Is the output expected to look like this?:

12345678
23456789
345678910
4567891011
56789101112

I am having trouble understanding your question.

Here's a simply way to do it with a while loop. Just add more cases if you need to add another line of numbers.

bool Done = false;
 
while(!Done)
{
 cout << i++ << ' ';
 if(i == 8)
 {
  i = 2;
  cout << '\n';
 }
 
 
 cout << i++ << ' ';
 
 if(i == 9)
 {
  i = 3;
  cout << '\n';
 }
    cout << i++ << ' ';
 
 if(i == 10)
 {
  i = 4;
  cout << '\n';
 }
    cout << i++ << ' ';
 
 
 if( i == 11)
  Done = true;
}
 
bool Done = false;
 
while(!Done)
{
 cout << i++ << ' ';
 if(i == 8)
 {
  i = 2;
  cout << '\n';
 }
 
 
 cout << i++ << ' ';
 
 if(i == 9)
 {
  i = 3;
  cout << '\n';
 }
    cout << i++ << ' ';
 
 if(i == 10)
 {
  i = 4;
  cout << '\n';
 }
    cout << i++ << ' ';
 
 
 if( i == 11)
  Done = true;
}

This could be one of many ways of doing it. Take a look at it. Look also at the format for posting code.

Thanks I appreciate it, I'm going to study the logic of how you wrote this code, and I will also look at the format for posting. Thanks again

You're welcome.

Now if you are pushing for more nested for loops, you could always get one more loop in the nest.
