Java provides us an important looping structure using which we could execute one or multiple statements within a loop until a condition is met. The condition of while loop is tested for the boolean value - true or false.

• If the condition is true then the block of statements in while loop are executed.
• If the condition is false then the block of statements in the while loop are skipped and not executed.

while loop example

// while loop example

public class WhileEx1  
{

public static void main(String... ar) //main method starts
{

int i=0;

while(i<5)
{
	System.out.println("i =" + i);
	i++;
}

}   //main method ends

}   //class ends

Output

i = 0
i = 1
i = 2
i = 3
i = 4

While loop must have an iteration part in its body or it runs an endless loop

class WhileEx2 //class starts
{

public static void main(String... ar) //main method starts
{

int i=0;

while(i<5)
{
	System.out.println("i =" + i);
}



}   //main method ends

}   //class ends

Output

This program when executed, runs indefinitely in a loop because of the absence of incremental part to increment the value of i.
