A while loop is a control flow statement that allows you to repeat a block of code as long as a certain condition is true.
Here’s the syntax for a while loop in Java:
while (condition) {
// code block to be executed
}
The condition is evaluated before the loop body is executed, and the loop will continue to execute as long as the condition is true. Once the condition becomes false, the loop will exit and control will be returned to the next line of code after the loop.
Here’s an example of a while loop that counts down from 10 to 1:
int count = 10;
while (count > 0) {
System.out.println(count);
count--;
}
This loop will print the numbers 10 through 1 to the console, and then exit the loop.
It’s important to make sure that the condition in your while loop will eventually become false, or else you will end up with an infinite loop.
That’s it for while loops in Java! As always, if you have any questions or need further clarification, just let me know.
