C - Loops
Which of the following best describes the number of times the inner loop runs in a nested loop structure?
AIt runs twice for each iteration of the outer loop
BIt runs once for each iteration of the outer loop
CIt runs the same number of times as the outer loop
DIt runs only once regardless of the outer loop
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Analyze nested loop behavior

    The inner loop completes all its iterations every time the outer loop runs once.

  2. Step 2: Understand iteration counts

    So, the inner loop runs fully for each single iteration of the outer loop.

  3. Final Answer:

    It runs once for each iteration of the outer loop -> Option B

  4. Quick Check:

    Inner loop runs per outer loop iteration = once [OK]
Quick Trick: Inner loop runs fully each time outer loop runs once [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Assuming inner loop runs only once total
  • Confusing inner loop count with outer loop count
