Concept

while Loops

A while loop repeats as long as its condition stays true, useful when you don't know the exact number of iterations in advance.

By the end of this lesson
  • Explain the core idea behind while Loops.
  • Predict output before running a change.
  • Test one realistic and one unusual input.
  • Use the result to make the next decision.

Self-check before continuing

Without looking at the example, describe what changes when you modify one input in while Loops. Then reopen the editor and prove your explanation with a small test.

You are ready to continue when you can predict, test, and explain the result.

Your turn

Write a while loop that keeps doubling a number starting at 1 until it exceeds 100.
