C For loop
This is one of the most frequently used loop in C programming.
Syntax of for loop:
for (initialization; condition test; increment or decrement) { //Statements to be executed repeatedly }
Flow Diagram of For loop
Step 1: First initialization happens and the counter variable gets initialized.
Step 2: In the second step the condition is checked, where the counter variable is tested for the given condition, if the condition returns true then the C statements inside the body of for loop gets executed, if the condition returns false then the for loop gets terminated and the control comes out of the loop.
Step 3: After successful execution of statements inside the body of loop, the counter variable is incremented or decremented, depending on the operation (++ or –).
