The syntax for a nested do...while loop statement in C programming language is as
follows:
do
{
statement(s);
do
{
statement(s);
}while( condition );
}while( condition );
A final note on loop nesting is that you can put any type of loop inside any other type of
loop. For example, a ‘for’ loop can be inside a ‘while’ loop or vice versa.
Example
The following program uses a nested for loop to find the prime numbers from 2 to 100:
#include <stdio.h>
int main ()
{
/* local variable definition */
int i, j;
for(i=2; i<100; i++) {
for(j=2; j <= (i/j); j++)
if(!(i%j)) break; // if factor found, not prime
if(j > (i/j)) printf("%d is prime\n", i);
}
