Nested Loop Concepts

Nested for loops allow running a for loop inside another for loop. This allows printing patterns like a pyramid or a grid by controlling the inner and outer loops. The document explains how nested loops work by running the inner loop fully for each iteration of the outer loop, and increasing the outer loop variable after the inner loop finishes.

Nested for loop

Harapriya Mohanta
Nested for loop means:
→ a for loop inside another for loop

for (initialization;cond; inc/dec)


{

outer loop for(initialization;cond; inc/dec)


{
//innerloop
}
}
When i will use nested loops:

for(initialization;cond; inc/dec) Using one for loop, i can print


{ either linearly(means one row) or
//body vertically(one column)
}

How nested loops work?
How Nested for loop works:

TRUE

TRUE

How Nested for loop works:
 condition check
first,i initialized   TRUE
for (int i = 1;i<=3; i++)
{

for(int j =1;j<=3; j++)


{
outer loop variable inner loop runs
}
} i=1 3 times

How Nested for loop works:

for (int i = 1;i<=3; i++)


{
once inner loop gets terminated,
for(int j =1;j<=3; j++) control goes back to the outer loop
{

How Nested for loop works:
Now i++; executed
now i =2; 2<=3(true)
for (int i = 1;i<=3; i++) again go inside the outer loop
{
outer loop variable inner loop runs

for(int j =1;j<=3; j++) i=2 3 times


{

}
That means, for each
} value of i, inner loop runs
maximum no. of times

Harapriya Mohanta
How Nested for loop works:
outer loop variable inner loop runs

for (int i = 1;i<=3; i++) i=1 3 times


{ i=4 3 times

for(int j =1;j<=3; j++) i=3 3 times


{

}
That means, when outer
} loop runs 3 times, my inner
loop will run 9 times.

Outer loop print
