''The '''while''' loop is useful to loop based on the result from a test condition or command result.<br>This type of loop is very useful for '''error-checking'''.<br><br><i>How it Works:</i><br>The condition/expression is evaluated, and if the condition/expression is '''TRUE''',<br>the code within … the block is executed.''
