可以在循环的内部嵌套另一个循环。 C++允许至少256层嵌套。

语法

在C++嵌套循环语句的语法如下：

for ( init; condition; increment )
{
   for ( init; condition; increment )
   {
      statement(s);
   }
   statement(s); // you can put more statements.
}

C++嵌套while循环语句的语法如下：

while(condition)
{
   while(condition)
   {
      statement(s);
   }
   statement(s); // you can put more statements.
}

C++嵌套do...while循环语句语法如下：

do
{
   statement(s); // you can put more statements.
   do
   {
      statement(s);
   }while( condition );

}while( condition );

示例:

下面的程序使用for嵌套循环从2至100找出所有的素数：

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
int main ()
{
   int i, j;
   
   for(i=2; i<100; i++) {
      for(j=2; j <= (i/j); j++)
        if(!(i%j)) break; // if factor found, not prime
        if(j > (i/j)) cout << i << " is prime
";
   }
   return 0;
}

这将产生以下结果：

2 is prime
3 is prime
5 is prime
7 is prime
11 is prime
13 is prime
17 is prime
19 is prime
23 is prime
29 is prime
31 is prime
37 is prime
41 is prime
43 is prime
47 is prime
53 is prime
59 is prime
61 is prime
67 is prime
71 is prime
73 is prime
79 is prime
83 is prime
89 is prime
97 is prime
