Syntax

iteration-statement :

while ( expression ) statement

The expression must have arithmetic or pointer type. Execution proceeds as follows:

1. The expression is evaluated.

2. If expression is initially false, the body of the while statement is never executed, and control passes from the while statement to the next statement in the program.

   If expression is true (nonzero), the body of the statement is executed and the process is repeated beginning at step 1.

The while statement can also terminate when a break, goto, or return within the statement body is executed. Use the continue statement to terminate an iteration without exiting the while loop. The continue statement passes control to the next iteration of the while statement.

This is an example of the while statement:

while ( i >= 0 ) {    string1[i] = string2[i];    i--;}

This example copies characters from

string2

to

string1

. If

i

is greater than or equal to 0,

string2[i]

is assigned to

string1[i]

and

i

is decremented. When

i

reaches or falls below 0, execution of the while statement terminates.
