While loop



  • The general form of while loop is-

  • Initialize loop counter;

while(test loop counter using a condition){

do this;

and this;

Increment loop counter;

}

  • In this the loop continues until the condition becomes false.

  • There must be a case where the condition becomes false,otherwise the loop will turn into an infinite loop.

  • The statements in the loop can be a single statement or block of statements.

  • Instead of incrementing the loop counter,we can also decrement the loop counter.

  • Example:

​​​​​​​

  • Note: The increment operator ++ increments the value of variable by 1,every time the statement is executed.

  • Similarly,the decrement operator - - decrements the value of variable by 1,every time the statement is executed.

  • += is the compound assignment operator.It also increments the value by 1.

  • Other compound assignment operators are -= ; *= ; /= ; %=.
