Iteration in Programming

The outer loop will complete its iterations before the inner loop starts running once.

Each inner and outer pair will only execute once resulting in n+m iterations total.

The inner loop will run a total of (n+1) * (m+1) times.

The inner loop will run m times only once throughout the entire process.

To prevent infinite loops from occurring during execution.

To enhance the security of the loop structures in code.

To reduce the overall number of loops necessary in a program.

To allow the program to perform repeated actions within another repeating action.

An if-else statement.

A while-loop with no condition.

A single do-while loop.

A nested for-loop.

When nesting occurs only within single-loop constructs without any exit conditions being met.

When there's no proper update or termination condition within either or both loops causing them to repeat indefinitely.

If an exception is thrown inside an inner loop but caught outside both loops preventing termination.

If there are exactly two times more iterations happening in an inner loop than an outer one.

If any infinite recursion might be occurring elsewhere in your code.

The data types of all variables involved, even if they are unrelated to loops.

The conditions controlling the loops are correct and that they terminate as intended.

Whether or not global variables are causing side effects outside the loops.

int headCount = 0; while (headCount < 3) { flipCoin(); if (coinIsHeads()) headsCount++; }

int headsCount = 0; while (headsCount < 3) { flipCoin(); if (coinIsHeads()) headsCount++; }

int headsCount = 0; while (headsCount < 3) { flip(); if (headIfHeads()) headsCount++; }

while (flips < 3) { int headsCount = 0; flipCoin(); if (coinIsHeads()) headsCount++; }

The Java Virtual Machine immediately terminates.

The exception is suppressed and execution continues.

The exception is propagated up the call stack to the method that called it.

A new thread is created to handle the exception.
