While loop

 With the while loop we can execute a


set of statements as long as a condition
is true.

Looping for a known number of times.

Things to note
 # the starting position
 # the termination condition
 # increment the loop
Example
 Print variable as long as it is less than 5

 Remember to
increment i, or else
the loop will continue

 In this example we need to define an indexing


variable, i, which we set to 1.
The break condition
 A way of stopping the execution even if
the termination condition is not yet met.

 Our termination condition is (i < 5).

 With the break statement we can stop


the loop at i==1,2,3 or 4.

 E.g.
The continue condition
 Also a way of stopping the current iteration
from being executed even if the
termination condition is not yet met.

 With the continue, we can stop the current


iteration, and continue with the next, until
the termination condition is met.
The else condition
 What the program does when the
termination condition is no longer true.
Looping for an unknown number of times
 For all the previous examples we have
looked at so far,
 we knew in advance the number of
times we were going to loop,
 just like in the for loop, i.e. for
something in range (certain range).

 Sometimes, we need to repeat


something, but we don’t know in
advance exactly how many times it has
to be repeated.

 E.g., a game keeps going until someone


wins.,
Example 1: Temperature converter
program.
Write a program where a user enters a
temperature in degrees and the program
coverts it to Fahrenheit.
The program should stop when a user
enters a stopping input like -1000.
Formula to convert is 1 F = 9/5*temp+32
