while Loop in Python

By Hemanta Sundaray on 2021-08-24

We can repeat a task multiple times using a loop.

while loop is one of the two looping mechanisms available in Python.

A while loop iterates until some condition is met.

The argument of the while loop is evaluated as a Boolean statement and the loop is executed until the statement evaluates to False.

Example:

counter = 0

while counter <=5:
    print(counter, end = " ")
    counter += 1

# 0 1 2 3 4 5

Note that a while True loop will loop forever unless we have a break statement.
