while statement

Use while to implement a conditional loop.

syntax:

(while conditional_expression
        code_block_1
        code_block_2
        ...
)

The code blocks are continually executed until conditional_expression evaluates to be FALSE (zero):

(= counter 10)
; This loop will execute ten times, unless counter is 0:
(while counter
        (Printf "Counting down: %d" counter)
        (-- counter)
)
