int main() {
    int num_iterations = 10;

    for (int i = 0; i < num_iterations; i++) {
        // Perform some actions...
    }

    return 0;
}

1. Using Integer Constants to Specify Array Sizes:

#include <stdint.h>

int main() {
    const int array_size = 10;
    int array[array_size];

    for (int i = 0; i < array_size; i++) {
        array[i] = i;
    }

    return 0;
}

1. Using Integer Constants in Switch Statements:

#include <stdint.h>

int main() {
    int choice = 1;

    switch (choice) {
        case 1:
            // Do something...
            break;
        case 2:
            // Do something else...
            break;
        default:
            // Handle the default case
            break;
    }

    return 0;
}

1. Using Integer Constants to Initialize Global Variables:

#include <stdint.h>

int global_variable = 10;  // Initialized with an integer constant

int main() {
    // Access the global variable here...

    return 0;
}

1. Using Integer Constants in Macros:

#include <stdint.h>

#define MAX_SIZE 100

int main() {
    int array[MAX_SIZE];  // Array size defined using a macro

    // Use the array here...

    return 0;
}
