Using a While Loop for Repeated Tasks

A while loop repeats a block of code as long as a specific condition remains true. It is useful when you don't know the exact number of iterations in advance.

snippet.py
python
counter = 1
while counter <= 3:
    print("Loop number:", counter)
    counter += 1

Breakdown

while counter <= 3:

Checks if the counter is less than or equal to 3 before each loop.

counter += 1

Increments the counter by 1 to eventually make the condition false.
