Exercise 7 - Solution

The document contains an exercise with 6 programming questions. The questions involve using for loops, nested for loops, while loops, and conditionals to print out times tables, nested numbers, data from a matrix, generate matrices, and print numbers within a condition. Suggested solutions in R are provided that use for loops, nested for loops, and while loops to solve each question.

EXERCISE 7
CONDITIONALS AND LOOPS

QUESTIONS

1. Write a for-loop program to print times table of 7 from 1 to 10 as the output below:
[1] "7 * 1 = 7"
[1] "7 * 2 = 14"
[1] "7 * 3 = 21"
[1] "7 * 4 = 28"
[1] "7 * 5 = 35"
[1] "7 * 6 = 42"
[1] "7 * 7 = 49"
[1] "7 * 8 = 56"
[1] "7 * 9 = 63"
[1] "7 * 10 = 70"

2. Write a program that use a nested for-loop (a for-loop inside a for-loop) to generate output as
below:
[1] "1 1"
[1] "1 2"
[1] "1 3"
[1] "1 4"
[1] "2 1"
[1] "2 2"
[1] "2 3"
[1] "2 4"
[1] "3 1"
[1] "3 2"
[1] "3 3"
[1] "3 4"

3. Given a named matrix as below:

> x <- matrix(c(28, 35, 13, 13, 1.62, 1.53, 1.83, 1.71, 65, 59, 72, 83), nrow = 4, dimnames =
list(c("Veronica", "Karl", "Miriam", "Peter"), c("Age", "Size", "Weight")))
Age Size Weight
Veronica 28 1.62 65
Karl 35 1.53 59
Miriam 13 1.83 72
Peter 13 1.71 83
Write a for-loop program that generate that output as below: (hint: you can use rownames() and
colnames() in extracting the data)
[1] "The Age of Veronica is 28"
[1] "The Size of Veronica is 1.62"
[1] "The Weight of Veronica is 65"
[1] "The Age of Karl is 35"
[1] "The Size of Karl is 1.53"
[1] "The Weight of Karl is 59"
[1] "The Age of Miriam is 13"
[1] "The Size of Miriam is 1.83"
[1] "The Weight of Miriam is 72"
[1] "The Age of Peter is 13"
[1] "The Size of Peter is 1.71"
[1] "The Weight of Peter is 83"

4. Use a nested for-loop that produces the following matrix.


[,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]
[1,] 0 1 2 3 4
[2,] 1 0 1 2 3
[3,] 2 1 0 1 2
[4,] 3 2 1 0 1
[5,] 4 3 2 1 0

5. Use a while-loop that print all numbers x as long as x2 is lower than 20, starting with x = 0. The
output is shown as below:
[1] 0
[1] 1
[1] 2
[1] 3
[1] 4

6. Use a while-loop program that generate output as below:


This is loop number 1
[1] 2
This is loop number 2
[1] 3
This is loop number 3
[1] 4
This is loop number 4
[1] 5
This is loop number 5
[1] 6
This is loop number 6
[1] 7
This is loop number 7
[1] 8
SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS:

Question 1
> for (y in 1:10){
+
+ print(paste(7, '*' , y , '=' , 7*y))
+}

Question 2
> for ( row in 1:3 ) {
+ for ( col in 1:4 ) {
+ print ( paste ( row, col ) )
+ }
+}

Question 3
> for (rname in rownames(x)) {
+ for (cname in colnames(x)) {
+ print(paste("The", cname, "of", rname, "is", x[rname, cname]))
+ }
+}

Question 4
> mat <- matrix(NA_integer_, nrow = 5, ncol = 5)
> for (i in 1:5) {
+ for (j in 1:5) {
+ mat[i, j] <- abs(i - j)
+ }
+}
> mat

Question 5
> x <- 0
> while (x^2 < 20) {
+ print(x)
+ x <- x + 1
+}

Question 6
begin <- 1
while (begin <= 7){
cat('This is loop number',begin, '\n')
begin <- begin+1
print(begin)
}
