Java Programming/Keywords/while

      while is a Java keyword.

      It starts a looping block.

      The general syntax of a while, using Extended Backus-Naur Form, is

      while-looping-statement ::= while condition-clause 
                                          single-statement | block-statement
       
      condition-clause    ::= ( Boolean Expression )
      single-statement    ::= Statement
      block-statement     ::= { Statement [ Statements ] }
      

      For example:

      Computer code
      while ( i < maxLoopIter )
       {
          System.println("Iter=" +i++);
       }
