# While loops

#### While Loop in Computer Programming

The while loop is a fundamental control flow statement in computer programming that repeatedly executes a block of code as long as a given condition is true. It's used for iterative tasks when the number of iterations isn't known before the loop starts. The loop includes a condition that is evaluated before each iteration, and if the condition evaluates to false, the loop terminates and control passes to the next statement following the loop.

#### Example in Python

In Python, a while loop syntax is straightforward. Here's a basic example that prints numbers from 1 to 5.

```python
counter = 1
while counter <= 5:
    print(counter)
    counter += 1
```

#### Example in C\#

Similarly, in C#, a while loop can perform the same task. Below is a simple example that demonstrates iterating from 1 to 5.

```csharp
int counter = 1;
while (counter <= 5)
{
    Console.WriteLine(counter);
    counter++;
}
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://university-west.gitbook.io/programming-paradigms/programming-fundamentals/control-structures/iteration-loops/while-loops.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
