The given code contains a for
loop that calculates the sum of integers from 1 to 10 and stores the result in the variable s
. Let's break it down and then explain the equivalent while
loop.
Code Analysis:
int s = 0;
initializes the variables
to 0, which will accumulate the sum of numbers from 1 to 10.- The
for
loop starts withint i = 1
and runs whilei
is less than or equal to 10 (i <= 10
). After each iteration,i
is incremented by 1 (i++
). - Inside the loop, each value of
i
is added tos
.
As a result, after the loop finishes execution, s
will hold the sum of the integers from 1 to 10, which is 55
.
Equivalent while
Loop:
A while
loop can produce the same result with a slightly different structure. Here's the equivalent code:
int s = 0;
int i = 1; // Initialization of the loop control variable
while (i <= 10) { // Loop condition
s = s + i; // Add the value of 'i' to 's'
i++; // Increment 'i'
}
What Does This Code Do?
This rewritten while
loop achieves the same outcome as the original for
loop. It adds integers from 1 to 10 to the variable s
, resulting in the value 55
once the loop is complete. Both the original for
loop and the while
loop compute the same sum in a slightly different way.
