title: While Loop
|
||
|
|
---
|
||
|
|
The while loop starts by evaluating the condition. If the condition is true, the statement(s) is/are executed. If the condition is false, the statement(s) is/are not executed. After that, while loop ends.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here is the **syntax** for while loop:
|
||
|
|

## Syntax:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
while (condition)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
statement(s);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
_statement(s):_ A statement that is executed as long as the condition evaluates to true.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
_condition:_ Here, condition is a Boolean expression which is evaluated before each pass through the loop. If this condition evaluates to true, statement(s) is/are executed. When condition evaluates to false, execution continues with the statement after the while loop.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
var i = 1;
|
||
|
|
while (i < 10)
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
console.log(i);
|
||
|
|
i++; // i=i+1 same thing
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
