C# Questions & Answers – For Loop Statements

This section of our 1000+ C# multiple choice questions focuses on for loop statements in C# Programming Language.

1. What will be the output of the following C# code?

  1.  static void Main(string[] args)
  2.  {
  3.      int i;
  4.      for (i = 0;  ; )
  5.      {
  6.          Console.WriteLine("hello");
  7.      }
  8.      Console.ReadLine();
  9.  }

a) No output
b) hello
c) hello printed infinite times
d) Code will give error as expression syntax
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Testing condition for the loop is absent. So, loop will continue executing.
Output :

advertisement
advertisement
         hello
         hello
         hello
         .
         .
         .

2. What will be the output of the following C# code?

  1.   static void Main(string[] args)
  2.   {
  3.       float f;
  4.       for (f = 0.1f; f <= 0.5; f += 1)
  5.       Console.WriteLine( ++f );
  6.       Console.ReadLine();
  7.   }

a) 1.1
b) 0.1
c) 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: f = 0.1 and ++f = 0.1+1 = 1.1. So, 1.1>0.5, Condition fails and hence loop terminates.
Output :

advertisement
 1.1

3. What will be the output of the following C# code?

advertisement
  1.  static void Main(string[] args)
  2.  {
  3.      int I, X;
  4.      for (I = 1; I <= (9 % 2 + I); I++)
  5.      {
  6.          X = (I * 3 + I * 2) / I;
  7.          Console.WriteLine(X);
  8.      }
  9.      Console.ReadLine();
  10.  }

a) Output of code is 5 10
b) Output is 5 5 5 5
c) Print 5 infinite times
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Testing condition is always incremented i.e i never ‘>’ (9%2+I). So, loop will never terminate.
Output :

 5 5 5.....

4. What will be the output of the following C# code?

  1.  static void Main(string[] args)
  2.  {
  3.      int I, J = 0;
  4.      for (I = 1; I < 10; ) ;
  5.      {
  6.          J = J + I;
  7.          I += 2;
  8.      }
  9.      Console.WriteLine("Sum of first 10 even numbers is:"+J);
  10.      Console.ReadLine();
  11.  }

a) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
b) 25
c) 1
d) Run time error
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Due to presence of ‘;’ after for()loop condition do not work as according to the statement. Remove the ‘;’.
Output :

 25

5. What will be the output of the following C# code?

  1.   static void Main(string[] args)
  2.   {
  3.       int i = 5;
  4.       for (; Convert.ToBoolean(Convert.ToInt32(i)); Console.WriteLine(i--)) ;
  5.       Console.ReadLine();
  6.   }

a) 4 3 2 1
b) 3 2 1
c) 5 4 3 2 1
d) 2 1
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Since, i = 5 and test condition is executed until i!=0. So, i– decrements value of i till condition is satisfied.
Output:

 5 4 3 2 1

6. What will be the output of the following C# code?

  1.  static void Main(string[] args)
  2.  {
  3.      int i, s = 0;
  4.      for (i = 1; i <= 10; s = s + i, i++);
  5.      {
  6.          Console.WriteLine(s);
  7.      }
  8.      Console.ReadLine();
  9.  }

a) Code report error
b) Code runs in infinite loop condition
c) Code gives output as 0 1 3 6 10 15 21 28 36 45
d) Code give output as 55
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Since occurrence of termination symbol(;) at end of for loop.
Output:

 55

  5.           Program.Main(args);
  6.       Console.ReadLine();
  7.   }

a) Prints ‘Hi’ for one time
b) Prints ‘Hi’ for infinite times
c) Stack overflow exception Condition generated
d) None of the mentioned

Output:

        Hi
        Hi
         .
         .
        stack overflow exception.

a) i = 0, j = 1;
b) i = 1, j = 0;
c) j = 0;
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Since for i = 1, j = 1 and 1 <= 3 also 1 >= 0 we had i == j. But after i++ and j–. The initial value of ‘j’ which is ‘0’ as j– preferred other than value of ‘j’ in i = j.
Output:

j = 0
