while -- C Keyword

Introduce a loop
while(condition)

while  is a  C keyword  that introduces a  conditional loop.   condition is
tested on reiteration  of the loop, and the loop  ends when condition is no
longer satisfied.  For example,

    while (foo < 10)

introduces a loop that will continue until the variable foo is reset to ten
or greater.  Note that the statement

    while (1)

will  loop  forever,  unless  interrupted  by  a  break,  goto,  or  return
statement.
