C++ LANGUAGE WHILE LOOP

While Loop 

A while loop statement repeatedly executes a target 
statement as long as a given condition is true. 

Syntax 
The syntax of a while loop in C++ is: 
while(condition) 
{ 
   statement(s); 
} 
Here, statement(s) may be a single statement or a block of 
statements. The condition may be any expression, and true is 
any non-zero value. The loop iterates while the condition is true. 
When the condition becomes false, program control passes to 
the line immediately following the loop. 

Flow Diagram 
 
Here, key point of the while loop is that the loop might not 
ever run. When the condition is tested and the result is false, 
the loop body will be skipped and the first statement after the 
While loop will be executed. 

Example 

#include <iostream> 

using namespace std; 
  
int main () 
{ 
   // Local variable declaration: 
   int a = 10; 
 
   // while loop execution 
   while( a < 20 ) 
   { 
       cout << "value of a: " << a << endl; 
       a++; 
   } 
  
   return 0; 
} 
When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following result: 
value of a: 10 
value of a: 11 
value of a: 12 
value of a: 13 
value of a: 14 
value of a: 15 
value of a: 16 
value of a: 17 
value of a: 18 
value of a: 19
