C Nested Loops
Nested Loops
It is also possible to place a loop inside another loop. This is called a nested loop.
The "inner loop" will be executed one time for each iteration of the "outer loop":
Example
int i, j;
// Outer loop
for (i = 1; i <= 2; ++i) {
printf("Outer:
%d\n", i); // Executes 2 times
// Inner loop
for (j = 1; j <= 3; ++j)
{
printf(" Inner: %d\n", j); // Executes 6 times (2 * 3)
}
}
