Introduction to Nested Loops in C
Nested loops are a powerful feature in C that allow you to place one loop inside another. This structure is especially useful for working with multi-dimensional data, such as tables or grids. In a nested loop setup, the outer loop controls the number of complete passes, while the inner loop runs entirely for each iteration of the outer loop. Understanding how the outer and inner loops interact is key to mastering tasks like printing tables or processing matrices.
main.c
1234567891011121314#include <stdio.h> int main() { int i, j; printf("Multiplication Table (1 to 5):\n"); for (i = 1; i <= 5; i++) { // Outer loop for (j = 1; j <= 5; j++) // Inner loop printf("%2d ", i * j); printf("\n"); } return 0; }
In this program, the outer loop uses the variable i to control the rows of the multiplication table, while the inner loop uses j to print each column within a row. For every single value of i in the outer loop, the inner loop runs through all values of j from 1 to 5. This means that before the outer loop increments i, the inner loop completes all its iterations, printing one full row of the table. When the inner loop finishes, the outer loop moves to the next row, and the process repeats. This interaction ensures that every combination of i and j is covered, resulting in a complete multiplication table.
While nested loops are essential for certain tasks, using too many levels of nesting can hurt performance and make your code harder to read. Always check if you can solve your problem with fewer loops or by restructuring your logic.

Can you explain how the inner and outer loops work together in this example?
What would happen if I swapped the inner and outer loops?
Can you show an example of a multiplication table using nested loops in C?
Mahtavaa!
