a while loop is running until the condition is false (if counter = 10 -> 10 < 10 -> false). counter is 0 -> 0 < 10 result = 1 * 2 = 2 counter = 0 + 1 = 1 counter = 1 -> 1 < 10 result = 2 *2 = 4 counter = 1 + 1 = 2 -> 2 < 10 result = 8 counter = 3 -> 3 < 10 result = 16 counter = 4 -> 4 < 10 result = 32 counter = 5 -> 5 < 10 result = 64 counter = 6 -> 6 < 10 result = 128 counter = 7 -> 7 < 10 result = 256 counter = 8 -> 8 < 10 result = 512 counter = 9 -> 9 < 10 result = 1024 counter = 10 -> 10 < 10 is not true -> end loop print result -> output: 1024

Williams It is just an arrow sign which I use as a pointer/marker. I also use it to represent a chain.
