Examples
The following is a C-style While loop. It continues looping while x does not equal 3, or in other words it only stops looping when x equals 3. However, since x is initialized to 0 and the value of x is never changed in the loop, the loop will never end (infinite loop).
int x = 0; while ( x != 3 ) { /* code that doesn't change x */ }The while loop below will execute the code in the loop 5 times. x is initialized to 0, and each time in the loop the value of x is incremented. The while loop is set up to stop when x is equal to 5.
int x = 0; while ( x != 5 ) { /* code here */ x = x + 1; }Read more about this topic: Conditional Loop

“No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.”
