Thread: A new userand learning c from scratch trying to understand some questions

Hi friends,

Kindly be informed that I recently start to understand c programming. i have created hello world program and can understand if else statement. I want to understand for loop.
I have some questions:

1) In for loop why there is always written i=, i< and i++ in a bracket?
what is i and why there is < and ++ and sometimes i+1 sign

2) why in c there is always int main() in starting the program?

3) what is getch() and return statement?

Any answer and simple explanation to a new user like me will be highly appreciated.

With regards,
Soumya

Thanks Salem for the answer. But where should I use for loop and where should I use do while loops? what is void main()and getch()?

Thanks Salem , It seems no other person in this forum even cares to answer my( I am a Beginner) question other than you. Are there any solved examples and programs of for, while and do while loops?Which websites produce numerous solved examples in C?

Hi Soumya, a search "loop exercises in C" in google should produce plenty of results for you to look at. But as Salem advised, writing your own code is the best way to go. I am a beginner too and learning my way through writing simple codes. Start with very simple program such as; a program to print incremental value up to 100. Example;- int value = 1, now with every loop iteration, the value should increase by one and gets printed.

Typically, when a regular sees that a question has been sufficiently answered, they do not bother posting essentially the same answer.
