while('condition','body') - Function of iterations. The cycle carries out a 'body' while the 'condition' is true.
Advice: Choose it from the Programming palette
Important note: Inside the 'body' (line block could be used) the 'condition' must change from true (different than zero) to false (zero) otherwise we can have the endless (never ending) loop. The only way in this case for while or for loop is to interrupt the calculation by choosing
As a general rule, if the calculation is too long, make double checking of the loops.
Here is a simple example of using while loop:
