    Study Notes

    Introduction to Loops

    • A loop is a part of a program that may execute more than one time, i.e., it repeats.

    The while Loop

    • The while loop format is: while (condition) { statement(s); }
    • The {} can be omitted if there is only one statement in the body of the loop.

    How the while Loop Works

    • The condition is evaluated, and if it is true, the statement(s) are executed, and then the condition is evaluated again.
    • If the condition is false, the loop is exited.
    • An iteration is an execution of the loop body.

    while Loop Flow of Control

    • The flow of control goes back to the top of the loop to re-evaluate the condition after each iteration.

    while Loop Example

    • int val = 5; while (val &gt;= 0) { cout ...; } is an example of a while loop, where the statement(s) inside the loop will execute as long as the condition val &gt;= 0 is true.
