What is While Loop in C Language with example ?

• While loop evaluates the conditions inside the brackets.
• If the condition returns true, the statements inside the while loop body will be executed.
• Condition inside the while loop is executed once again.
• This process goes on until the condition in the while loop becomes false.
• Once the condition is false, while loop terminates.
