To help you solidify your understanding of this hour's lesson, you are encouraged to try to answer the quiz questions and finish the exercises provided in the Workshop before you move to the next lesson.

 

 Do the following two for loops have the same number of iterations?

    for (j=0; j<8; j++);
    for (k=1; k<=8; k++);


    Is the following for loop

    for (j=65; j<72; j++) printf("%c", j);
    int k = 65;
    while (k<72)
        printf("%c", k);
        k++;
    }


    Can the following while loop print out anything?

    int k = 100;
    while (k<100){
        printf("%c", k);
        k++;
    }


    Can the following do-while loop print out anything?

    int k = 100;
    do {
        printf("%c", k);
        k++;
    } while (k<100);


 

 

Exercises

    What is the difference between the following two pieces of code?

    for (i=0, j=1; i<8; i++, j++)
         printf("%d  +  %d  =  %d\n", i, j, i+j);
    for (i=0, j=1; i<8; i++, j++);
         printf("%d  +  %d  =  %d\n", i, j, i+j);


    Write a program that contains the two pieces of code shown in exercise 1, and then execute the program. What are you going to see on the screen?
    Rewrite the program in Listing 7.4. This time, you want the for statement to keep looping until the user enters the character K.
    Rewrite the program in Listing 7.6 by replacing the do-while loop with a for loop.
    Rewrite the program in Listing 7.7. This time, use a while loop as the outer loop and a do-while loop as the inner loop.

The #define and #undef Directives

The #define directive is the most common preprocessor directive, which tells the preprocessor to replace every occurrence of a particular character string (that is, a macro name) with a specified value (that is, a macro body).

The C Preprocessor Versus the Compiler

One important thing you need to remember is that the C preprocessor is not part of the C compiler.

What Is the C Preprocessor?

If there is a constant appearing in several places in your program, it's a good idea to associate a symbolic name to the constant, and then use the symbolic name to replace the constant throughout the program. There are two advantages to doing so. First, your program will be more readable.
