C Program to Print Multiplication Table

In this article we will show you, How to write a C Program to Print multiplication table using For Loop, and While Loop with example.

C Program to Print Multiplication Table using For Loop

In the example we are going to write a C Program to generate multiplication table using For Loop.

C CODE

/* C Program to Print Multiplication Table */

#include <stdio.h>

int main()

{

int i, j;

printf("\n Multiplication Table of 8 and 9 are: \n");

for (i = 8; i < 10; i++)

{

for (j = 1; j <= 10; j++)

{

printf("%d * %d = %d\n",i ,j, i*j);

}

printf("\n ==========\n");

}

return 0;

}

OUTPUT

ANALYSIS

This program prints multiplication table for 8 and 9.

In the first for loop i is initialized to value 8 and then it will check whether i is less than 10. This condition will return True until i reaches to 10. If this condition is True then it will enter into second for loop otherwise it will exit from the for loop.

1	for (i = 8; i < 10; i++)

In the second for loop j is initialized to value 1 and then it will check whether i is less than or equal to 10. This condition will return True until j reaches to 11. The concept of nesting one for loop inside another is called as Nested For Loops, and if you find difficult to understand the concept, Please refer For Loop in C Programming article

1	for (j = 1; j <= 10; j++)

Iteration 1: i = 8 means condition is True so, compiler will enter into second loop. Within the Second For loop, j = 1 and the condition j <= 10 is True so statement inside the loop will be printed

8 * 1 = 8

Now the value of j is incremented to 2

8 * 2 = 16

it will repeat the process up to 10.

Now the value of j is 11, condition fails so it will exit from the second loop.

NOTE: It will only exit from inner loop (Second For loop) but not from the entire loop.

Iteration 2: i = 9 and the condition inside the For loop is True so repeat the above process

Iteration 3: i = 10 and the condition is False. For loop is terminated, No need to check the second loop
