Loops & Iterations

Repetition is what computers do best. These problems will help you master for, while, and do-while loops, as well as nested loops for patterns.


1. Print 1 to N

Rating: Newbie | Difficulty: Easy Input a number N and print all numbers from 1 to N.

💡 Hint Use a for loop starting from 1 to N.


2. Even Numbers from 1 to N

Rating: Newbie | Difficulty: Easy Input N and print all even numbers between 1 and N.

💡 Hint Use if (i % 2 == 0) inside the loop, or increment the loop by 2: for (int i = 2; i <= N; i += 2).


3. Factorial of a Number

Rating: Beginner | Difficulty: Easy Input a number and calculate its factorial (n!). E.g., 5! = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120.

💡 Hint

Initialize fact = 1 and multiply it by loop counter i in each iteration.


4. Multiplication Table

Rating: Beginner | Difficulty: Easy Input a number and print its multiplication table up to 10.

💡 Hint print(num + " x " + i + " = " + (num * i)).


5. Sum of Digits

Rating: Intermediate | Difficulty: Medium Input a number and calculate the sum of its digits. E.g., 123 -> 1 + 2 + 3 = 6.

💡 Hint

Use num % 10 to get the last digit and num / 10 to remove it in a while loop.


6. Reverse a Number

Rating: Intermediate | Difficulty: Medium Input a number and print its reverse. E.g., 123 -> 321.

💡 Hint reverse = (reverse * 10) + (num % 10).


7. Palindrome Number

Rating: Intermediate | Difficulty: Medium Check if a number is a palindrome (reads the same forward and backward). E.g., 121 is a palindrome.

💡 Hint Reverse the number and compare it with the original value.


8. Fibonacci Series

Rating: Beginner | Difficulty: Easy Print the first N terms of the Fibonacci series: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13...

💡 Hint Start with a = 0, b = 1. In each step, next = a + b, then update a = b and b = next.


9. Prime Number Checker

Rating: Intermediate | Difficulty: Medium Input a number and check if it is prime (divisible only by 1 and itself).

💡 Hint Check divisibility from 2 up to √num. If any number divides it, it's not prime.


10. Armstrong Number

Rating: Advanced | Difficulty: Medium Check if a number is an Armstrong number. (Sum of cubes of digits equals the number itself, e.g., 153 = 1³ + 5³ + 3³).

💡 Hint Extract each digit, cube it, and add to a sum.


11. GCD (Greatest Common Divisor)

Rating: Advanced | Difficulty: Medium Find the GCD of two numbers.

💡 Hint Use the Euclidean algorithm or a loop from 1 to the smaller of the two numbers.


12. Power of a Number

Rating: Beginner | Difficulty: Easy Input base and exponent. Calculate base^exponent without using built-in math functions.

💡 Hint

Run a loop exponent times and multiply base each time.


13. Star Pattern (Right Triangle)

Rating: Intermediate | Difficulty: Medium Print the following pattern for N rows:

*
**
***
****

💡 Hint Use nested loops. Outer loop for rows, inner loop for columns (`j <= i`).

14. Number Pattern

Rating: Intermediate | Difficulty: Medium Print the following pattern:

1
12
123
1234

💡 Hint Similar to star pattern, but print the inner loop counter `j`.

15. Perfect Number

Rating: Pro | Difficulty: Medium Check if a number is a Perfect Number (sum of its proper divisors equals the number, e.g., 6 = 1 + 2 + 3).

💡 Hint Loop from 1 to num/2 and add the divisors.
