While loop in C++??

Question

Could anyone explain to me the while loop in C++ with example codes?
I am not understanding SoloLearn's explanation.

Answer 1

The while loop takes a condition like an if but unlike the if block, while repeats the code as long as the condition is true
int x = 1;
while(x <= 5) {
cout << x << "\n";
x++; // same as x += 1 or x = x + 1
}

The code above will print 1 to 5 on each line because...
x (1) <= 5: true
x (2) <= 5: true
...
x (5) <= 5: true
x (6) <= 5: false
because x is 6 which is not equal or smaller than 5 so the loop stops

Answer 2

Loops have a lot of use
Infinite loops (one that never ends because of the condition given, like... while (true)) in videogames
For many algorithms (sorting, searching ect)
Repetition of code
Read a file line by line

Answer 3

A loop repeatedly executes a set of statements until a particular condition is satisfied

Answer 4

think about the countdown system. it was not manually input by the user but it was generated by the machine that has a while loop condition.
