Can someone please explain the while loop for me? I don't seem to get it.

Question

While loop

Answer 1

'While' loop continues to execute anything you put in it while its statement is True.

e.g.
while i==1:
print("hello")

will print "hello" while 'i' has a value of '1'

or
e.g.

while True:
print(''hi')

will print "hi" forever, cuz True is always True. ;)

Answer 2

'''
You have already received some good answers about HOW to use a while loop, but I would like to try to explain WHEN to use a while loop.

A for loop is normally used when you have a preset number of operations to preform.

Example:'''
for i in range(4):
print(input())

'''
A while loop is used when you need to keep operating an unknown number of times until a condition has been met.
Example:'''
user = input()
while user != 'exit':
user = input()
print(user)

Answer 3

Waw I really appreciate you all.
Thanks for the explanation.

Answer 4

While loops will repeat the thing as many times if the condition is true
