How To Use Python While Loop — Easy Code Examples

In this Python post, we’ll learn what Python while loop is and how to properly use it.

We’ll explain it practically using multiple examples so you can have a better idea of how to use while loop in Python.

So without wasting anymore of your valuable time, let’s just get right into its implementation.

What is Python While Loop?

As the name suggests, it is used for looping or you can say its used for repetition. While loop has a test expression which is checked and if it returns true then its body is executed. If its false then the loop stop/break and the code after while loop executes.

Let’s now understand Python while loop usage with the help of practical examples. But first, we have to understand its syntax.

Syntax of While Loop

while condition:
     // body of while loop

First comes the while keyword, then a condition is checked and if it is satisfied then the while loop executes and stop/come out of loop if it return false.
