Using "while" loops

Question

Why does the print command get listed before the loop command? For example:
print(i)
i += 1
It seems like "print" should be last, since Python executes line by line. Can someone help me with the logic on this one?

Answer 1

If you want the initial value of i to be printed, the print needs to come before the increment.

Answer 2

You didn't provide the full code. Am I assuming that your code is:

#code.py
i=0
while True:
print(i)
i+=1

Answer 3

Oh, that makes sense! Thanks, Sonic!

Answer 4

It's actually from one of the lessons. The full code is:

i=1
while i<=5:
print(i)
i = i + 1

Answer 5

The loop runs while i <= 5.

So i has to be incremented at some point in the loop, otherwise it will run forever.
