Does while loop can use as if else statement?

Question

when i use while loop i have found that it is like the if statement

Answer 1

It may be possible in some cases, but the meaning of while is different:

if/else tells a piece of code to run *once* (if condition true).

while tells code to run *multiple times* (as long as condition true).

Answer 2

Yes, you can use it like an if statement, but not an else statement, also it's unnecessary.
