CSCI 112
Lab 5 - Looping, looping, and even more of looping...

Objectives:

Design and implement an algorithm using nested loops.
Learn to use both while and for loops.

Readings:

Read Chapter 5 in the Hanly/Koffman text.

Deliverables (DUE BY THE MIDNIGHT ON THE DAY OF LAB!):

Submittal of your algorithm and two files: lab5.c and Makefile.
The algorithm needs to be provided in the form of the flowchart, which was introduced during the lecture on Top-Down Design with Functions. You can draw the symbols by hand, or use any type of software with diagram-drawing capabilities (e.g. MS Visio, or some free ones: OpenOffice.org Draw, Dia). Your program’s code needs to match the algorithm you submitted.

TO DO (for today's lab)

Design a program in C which prints a series like the following for an input of an odd number, which is smaller or equal to 9. The pattern below represents the most extreme case that can be printed (i.e. the user entered 9 as the input).

As you can observe from the series presented above, the user is expected to provide an input which is odd. Make sure your user puts in an odd number less than 10 and force her to input until she inputs an odd number.
Use both while and for loops, and implement the solution using nested loops.
For example, a typical session may look in the following way:

Enter an odd number less than equal to 9: 6

You have inputted an even number. Please try again!

Enter an odd number less than equal to 9: 11

You have inputted a number greater than 9. Please try again!

Enter an odd number less than equal to 9: 9

Lab 5 output

Note: You will loose a substantial percentage of points if you use only one type of loop or your output does not follow the pattern as shown above.

LAB 5 ENRICHMENT

Rewrite your code using do-while loop to take the input from the user.

Rewrite your code in such way that you do not use neither "<=" nor ">=" relational operators (you are allowed to use "<" or ">" or other operators)
Can you generate the same output, when using only decremented counters (e.g. i = i - 1 )? How about using only prefix decrements (e.g. --i)?
