4(i)Assignment Questions

Distinguish between the following:

break statement and labelled break statement

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

break statement	labelled break statement
break statement is used to take the control out of the loop control structure immediately enclosing it.	Labelled break statement transfers program control out of the code block whose label is specified as its target.
Syntax: `break;`	Syntax: `break <label>;`
For example, for (int i = 1; i <= 3; i++) { for(int j = 1; j <= 2; j++) { if (i == 2) { break; } System.out.println("Iteration value of inner loop: " + j); } System.out.println(); }	For example, outer: for (int i = 1; i <= 3; i++) { for(int j = 1; j <= 2; j++) { if (i == 2) { System.out.println("Terminating the Outer-loop"); break outer; } System.out.println("i =" + i +" ; j =" + j); }

4(ii)Assignment Questions

Distinguish between the following:

continue statement and labelled continue statement

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

continue statement	labelled continue statement
continue statement is used to skip the current iteration of a loop and move on to the next iteration.	A labelled continue statement skips the current iteration of an outer loop by using a label before the loop and including the same label in continue statement.
Syntax: `continue;`	Syntax: `continue <label>;`
For example, for (int i = 0; i <= 3; i++) { System.out.println("i =" + i); for(int j = 0; j < 3; j++) { if (i == 2) { continue; } System.out.print("j = " + j + " "); } System.out.println(); }	For example, outerLoop: for (int i = 0; i <= 3; i++) { for(int j = 0; j < 3; j++) { if (i == 2) { continue outerLoop; System.out.println("i =" + i +" ; j =" + j); } } }

5(i)Assignment Questions

What will be the value of sum after each of the following nested loops is executed?

int sum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i <= 10; i++)
    for (int j = 0; j <= 10; j++) 
        sum += i;

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Sum = 605

The outer loop executes 11 times. For each iteration of outer loop, the inner loop executes 11 times. For every value of j, i is added to sum 11 times. Consider the following table for the value of sum with each value of i and j.

i	j	Sum	Remarks
0	0 - 10	0	0 is added to sum 11 times
1	0 - 10	11	1 is added to sum 11 times ⇒ 0 + 11 = 11
2	0 - 10	33	2 is added to sum 11 times ⇒ 11 + 22 = 33
3	0 - 10	66	3 is added to sum 11 times ⇒ 33 + 33 = 66
4	0 - 10	110	4 is added to sum 11 times ⇒ 66 + 44 = 110
5	0 - 10	165	5 is added to sum 11 times ⇒ 110 + 55 = 165
6	0 - 10	231	6 is added to sum 11 times ⇒ 165 + 66 = 231
7	0 - 10	308	7 is added to sum 11 times ⇒ 231 + 77 = 308
8	0 - 10	396	8 is added to sum 11 times ⇒ 308 + 88 = 396
9	0 - 10	495	9 is added to sum 11 times ⇒ 396 + 99 = 495
10	0 - 10	605	10 is added to sum 11 times ⇒ 495 + 110 = 605
11			Loop terminates

5(ii)Assignment Questions

What will be the value of sum after each of the following nested loops is executed?

int sum = 0;
for (int i = 1; i <= 3; i++) 
    for (int j = 1; j <= 3; j++)
        sum = sum + (i + j);

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Sum = 36

The outer loop executes 3 times. For each iteration of outer loop, the inner loop executes 3 times. For every value of j, i + j is added to sum 3 times. Consider the following table for the value of sum with each value of i and j.

i	j	Sum	sum + (i + j)
1	1	2	0 + 1 + 1
	2	5	2 + 1 + 2
	3	9	5 + 1 + 3
2	1	12	9 + 2 + 1
