2.5.3 While Loop
Different from a for loop, a while loop continues to execute a block of code as long as a specified condition remains true. This means that the number of iterations is not predetermined; instead, it depends on the state of the condition being evaluated. The syntax is
# Syntax of while loop
while (CONDITION) {
# Code block to be executed
}The CONDITION could be a logical value, or a command resulting logical value. The same example of for loop above, example 4, also can be implemented through a while loop.
# Example 7
# Initialize the starting number
number = 3
# While loop to print numbers divisible by 3 up to 50
while(number <= 50){
print(number) # Print the current number
number = number + 3 # Move to the next multiple of 3
}
