nested loops
Author
Well I was reading a book on C++ and it slightly mentioned and explained nested loops, and I was wanting to fully understand them. Could any maybe tell me a good online tutorial for learning nested loops.
Its quite simple really, consider this example:
The outer loop is set to execute 10 iterations. The inner loop is also set to execute 10 iterations.
Every time the outer loop "loops", the inner loop will loop 10 times. The total number of iterations is given by the number of times the outer loop "loops" multiplied by the number of times the inner loop "loops", giving us 100 iterations in total.
Loops can be nested to an arbitrary depth, though practically speaking there is surely a limit that is imposed by your compiler.
for(int i = 0; i < 10; ++i){ for(int j = 0; j < 10; ++j) { }}The outer loop is set to execute 10 iterations. The inner loop is also set to execute 10 iterations.

Just try writing a program to print out a 12x12 times table or something like that and you should get it.
Because I don't see how you could do it without using one?
Anyways, that's how I learned nested loops and what most books I've read use to demonstrate them.

Let's say you have an array of employees, and for each employee you want to write "YOU'RE SO FIRED!" 3 times, you'll do this with nested loops:
const int employeeCount = 10;const int sayingCount = 3;for(int i = 0; i < employeeCount; ++i) for(int j = 0; j < sayingCount; ++j) puts("YOU'RE SO FIRED!");This topic is closed to new replies.
