Snippet

The while Loop

A while loop repeatedly executes its body as long as the given condition remains true (non-zero in C).

snippet.c

int active = 1;
while (active) {
    active = 0;
}

Breakdown

while (active)

Starts the loop. It checks the value of 'active' before every iteration.

active = 0;

Changes the value to zero, which will make the next condition check false.
