Q.Write a C program to accept your name and print it for a specified number of times. The textbook presents this worked program, transcribed exactly as printed (including its printed errors):

#include <stdio.h>  
void main()  
{  
char name [14];  
int ktimes, i;  
printf("what is your name?\n");  
gets(name);  
printf("How many times to print your name\n");  
scanf("%d", &ktimes);  
i=0;  
while(i<ktimes)  
{  
    puts(name);  
    i++;  
}  
}  
/* End of main()*/  

Sample output printed in the textbook:

What is your name?  
Benaka  
How many times to print your name?  
4  
Benaka  
Benaka  
Benaka  
Benaka  

Loop (iterative) control statements repeat a block of statements as long as a condition holds, which lets a program perform a task many times without rewriting it. C provides three loops.

• while loop - an entry-controlled loop: the condition is tested first, so the body may run zero times.

  while (condition)
  { ... }
  

• do-while loop - an exit-controlled loop: the body runs once first and the condition is tested afterwards, so it always executes at least once.

  do
  { ... }
  while (condition);
  

• for loop - a compact loop that gathers the initialisation, test and update in one line: for (i=1; i<=n; i++). It is the natural choice when the number of repetitions is known.

Loops are used to add a series of numbers, print a name a fixed number of times, or process a menu repeatedly.

Jump statements change this normal flow from inside a loop: …
