Iterative Structures

An iterative structure allows a block of statements to be executedrepeatedly.The iteration continues until a specified condition fails, then itterminates.Computers derive their immense computational power through acombination of decision structures, iterative structures, and speed.

The while Statement

The while statement will repeatedly execute a block ofstatements as long as a specified boolean expression is true.Once the boolean expression is false, execution exits the whileloop and continues with the next statement following the loop.

The while Statement

The while Statementwhile (boolean-expression){

action}

Special situationsIf the boolean-expression is initially false, then the action is neverexecuted.If the boolean-expression is always true, then the loop never stops.

Input Loops

Often the purpose of a loop is to process a list of numbers as theyare read in.There are three standard ways to control such a loop.

By sentinel value.By end-of-file.By a counter.

Loops Controlled by a Sentinel Value

A sentinel value is a special value appended to the input toindicate the end of the list.For example, if the data represent test scores, a sentinel value of−1 or 999 may be used.Caution

The sentinel value must be a value that cannot occur otherwise.The sentinel value should not be processed as regular data.

Unrolling a Loop

The pattern in the loop is1 prompt user for input2 read input3 test for sentinel value4 carry out the action5 prompt6 read7 test8 action9

Unrolling a Loop

The pattern begins to repeat with the prompt statement.However, the test must occur at the top of the loop, in the whilestatement.Therefore, the first prompt and read must come before the whileloop.And the body of the while loop must follow the pattern:

Detecting End of File (EOF)

There is an istream function eof() (end of file) that returnstrue when the program attempts to read past the end of a file.Otherwise, it returns false.The while loop may use the boolean expression

!cin.eof()

When input is through the keyboard, there is no “file.” In this case,EOF can be simulated by typing CTRL-Z (Windows).

Using the eof() Function

Using the eof() Functionint number;prompt user for inputcin >> number;while (!cin.eof()){

actionprompt user for inputcin >> number;

Example of EOF

ExampleEOFFuncSum.cpp

Loops Controlled by EOF

When the input operator >> attempts to read past the end of a file,it returns false (0). Otherwise, it returns true (nonzero).Thus, the expression

cin >> number

may be used as a boolean expression in a while statement.This expression will both read and test the input.

Loops Controlled by EOF

Loops Controlled by EOFint number;prompt user for inputwhile (cin >> number){

actionprompt user for input

Example of EOF
