A02 Answer

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

/* Puzzle A02 -- print the integers from 1 to 15, one per line */
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  int j;
  for (j=1; j<=15; j++ )
  {
    printf("%3d\n", j);
  }
  system("PAUSE");	
  return 0;
}

Comments: It also works to use this for statement:

  for (j=1; j<16; j++ )

Here is an inferior solution to the problem because it does something needlessly tricky for no particular benefit. The "trick" is that it uses the last value assigned to j, 15, outside of the loop.

/* Puzzle A03 -- print the integers from 1 to 15, one per line

*/
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  int j;
  for (j=1; j<15; j++ )
  {
    printf("%3d\n", j);
  }
  printf("%3d\n", j);  /* The "trick" */
  system("PAUSE");	
  return 0;
}

Although this is an awful way to write the program, you should understand how it works. The variable j is assigned the value 15 the last time the loop body is executed. It keeps this value, even though the loop is finished.
