Programming Loops Flashcard

Front

What is the primary purpose of using loops in programming?

Back

To repeat a block of code multiple times

Front

In a while loop, what happens if the condition is initially false?

Back

The loop body is skipped entirely

Front

Which of the following correctly describes an infinite loop? A loop that runs for a fixed number of iterations, A loop that has a condition that never evaluates to false, A loop that terminates after a certain condition is met, A loop that only executes once

Back

A loop that has a condition that never evaluates to false

Front

In the provided code example, what is the purpose of the variable `count` in the while loop?

Back

To control the number of iterations

Front

How does a do-while loop differ from a while loop?

Back

The body of a do-while loop is executed at least once.

Front

What will be the output of the following code snippet if `count` is initially set to 6 in a do-while loop with the condition `count < 5`?

Back

6

Front

When creating a multiplication table using a while loop, what is the significance of incrementing the `count` variable?

Back

It allows the program to display results for each multiplication step

Front

In the context of the multiplication table example, what would be the output if the user inputs the number 5 and the loop runs from 1 to 10?

Back

5 multiplied by 1 is 5, 5 multiplied by 2 is 10, ..., 5 multiplied by 10 is 50

Front

If you were to modify the multiplication table program to print results in reverse order (from 10 to 1), what change would you need to implement?

Back

Change the loop condition to `count > 0`

Front

What is the significance of using `backslash n` in the print statement within the loop?

Back

It formats the output to be more readable by moving to a new line
