Conditional Loops: 'While' Loops
Using 'while' loops, students create programs that repeat actions as long as a specific condition remains true.
Key Questions
- Analyze how a 'while' loop's condition controls its execution.
- Justify the choice between a 'for' loop and a 'while' loop for different programming challenges.
- Construct a program that continues to ask for user input until a correct answer is provided.
