The while loop keeps iterating over a certain set of operations as long as a certain condition holds True. It operates using the following logic:
While this condition is true, keep the loop running.

The while loop in action
Here's a simple example of a while loop in Python that prints the numbers from 1 to 5. Note that the while statement also ends in a colon, similar to the ...
