Looping Statements
A loop statement allows us to execute a statement or group of statements
multiple times.
Like conditional statements, they are controlled by Boolean expressions
Java has three kinds of repetition statements:
• the while loop
• the do loop
• the for loop
while Loop Statement
Used when the number of iterations is not known in advance. It checks the
condition before the loop body.
Syntax:
while(condition){
//code to be executed
}
while Loop Statement-example
public class WhileExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int i=1;
while(i<5){
System.out.println(i);
i++;
}
}
}
dowhile Loop Statement
Similar to while, but it checks the condition after the loop body. It
executes at least once.
Syntax:
do
{
statement;
}
while ( condition )
dowhile Loop Statement-example
public class DoWhileExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int i=1;
do{
System.out.println(i);
i++;
}while(i<=10);
}
}
for Loop Statement
Used when the number of iterations is known
Syntax:
for(initialization; condition; update) {
// code to be executed
}
for Loop Statement-example
public class ForExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
for(int i=1;i<=10;i++){
System.out.println(i);
}
Enhanced for Loop Statement
Used to iterate over arrays or collections.
Syntax:
for(type variable : arrayOrCollection) {
// code to be executed
}
Enhanced for Loop Statement-example
public class ForEachExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int[] numbers = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10};
for(int num : numbers) {
System.out.println(num);
}
Nested loops
A nested loop means placing one loop inside another. The inner loop runs
completely every time the outer loop runs once.
Syntax:
for(initialization; condition; update) {
for(initialization; condition; update) {
// Inner loop body
}
// Outer loop body
}
Nested loops-Example
public class NestedLoopExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
for(int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
for(int j = 1; j <= 10; j++) {
System.out.print(i * j + "\t");
}
System.out.println();
}
}
}
Digit Manipulation
Definition: Operations performed on individual digits of a number.
Common use-cases: Validations, logic building, pattern matching, numerical
puzzles, etc.
Basic operations on digits
• Extracting Digits using % and / operators
% 10 → gets last digit
/ 10 → removes last digit
• Counting Digits
Loop until the number becomes 0, increment a counter.
• Summing Digits
Add each extracted digit to a running sum.
• Product of Digits
Multiply extracted digits.
• Reversing the Number
Append digits from end to a new number in reverse order.
Count of the digits
public class CountDigits {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int num = 12345;
int count = 0;
while(num > 0) {
count++;
num /= 10;
}
System.out.println("Total digits: " + count);
}
}
Sum of the digits
public class SumDigits {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int num = 1234, sum = 0;
while(num > 0) {
int digit = num % 10;
sum += digit;
num /= 10;
}
System.out.println("Sum of digits: " + sum);
}
}
Practise problems
•Reverse number
•Palindrome
•Armstrong number
•Count even and odd digits
•Check if digits are in increasing order
•Remove specific digit
•Find largest and smallest digit
Pattern
Outer loop → controls rows
Inner loop → controls columns (characters printed in each row)
Pattern Types
Star patterns (▲, ▼, □)
Number patterns (1, 12, 123...)
Alphabet patterns (A, AB, ABC...)
Mixed patterns (number-star combo, palindromic)
Space Management
Use spaces for alignment (especially in pyramids)
" " helps in centering pyramids
Pattern example- Right angled Triangle
public class StarPattern {
public static void main(String[] args) {
for(int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
for(int j = 1; j <= i; j++) {
System.out.print("* ");
}
System.out.println();
}
}
}
CharacterPattern
public class CharacterPattern {
public static void main(String[] args) {
char ch = 'A'; // starting character
for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
for (int j = 1; j <= i; j++) {
System.out.print(ch + " ");
}
ch++; // move to next character
System.out.println();
}
}}
NumberPattern
public class NumberPattern {
public static void main(String[] args) {
for(int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
for(int j = 1; j <= i; j++) {
System.out.print(j + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}
}
}
