Objective-C while Loop Guide

The while loop in Objective-C programming repeatedly executes statements as long as a condition is true. The syntax includes the condition in parentheses after the while keyword followed by a block of code in curly braces. The loop iterates each time the condition is true and stops once it becomes false, allowing code to continue after the loop. For example, a while loop prints values of a variable from 10 to 19 as it increments from each iteration until a is no longer less than 20.

while loop statement in Objective-C programming language repeatedly executes a

target statement as long as a given condition is true.

Syntax
The syntax of a while loop in Objective-C programming language is −
while(condition) {
statement(s);
}
Here, statement(s) may be a single statement or a block of statements.
The condition may be any expression, and true is any nonzero value. The loop iterates
while the condition is true.
When the condition becomes false, program control passes to the line immediately
following the loop.

Flow Diagram

Here, key point of the while loop is that the loop might not ever run. When the condition
is tested and the result is false, the loop body will be skipped and the first statement
after the while loop will be executed.

Example
Live Demo
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

int main () {

/* local variable definition */


int a = 10;

/* while loop execution */


while( a < 20 ) {
NSLog(@"value of a: %d\n", a);
a++;
}
return 0;
}
When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following result −
