Omputer Rogramming: Session 2: Loops

This document discusses loops in computer programming. It covers the while, do-while, and for loops. It provides examples of using each loop type to print numbers from 0 to 10, divide an even number in half repeatedly until it reaches 1 while counting divisions, and simulate a bouncing ball's height over multiple bounces. It also provides two additional example problems for the reader to consider implementing loop structures: calculating months to double an investment given interest rate, and identifying odd and even numbers in a 100 item data set.

number becomes one. Print each number and the total amount of divisions.

EXAMPLES
You are thinking on opening an account at a bank. There are several
options available and, thus, you would like to have a means of quickly
assessing which one is the best option for you. Specifically, you would like
to know how many months would it take to double an initial investment C,
at a given interest rate. Create a program to sort this problem out, reporting
the value after each month has passed.

After each bounce, a ball losses part of its energy. Assuming an initial
height (H), create a program that simulates each bounce, reporting the
number of bounces until the ball is unable to reach a height equal to one
fifth of the initial value.

EXAMPLES
You are developing an algorithm for data analysis. Said analysis requires
you to identify the amount of odd and even numbers in the data set.
Knowing that each data set contains a hundred data points, lay out the
algorithm for carrying out the required analysis.

Note: residue operations in CFD are given by the % operator
