While Loops: Repetition with Control in Python

Basic While Loop
While loops run as long as a condition is true. This makes them flexible for tasks where the number of repetitions isn’t known in advance.

count = 1
while count <= 5:
    print("Count is", count)
    count += 1

Break Statement
break lets you exit a loop early, even if the condition is still true. This is useful for stopping once a certain condition is met.

number = 0
while True:
    number += 1
    if number == 3:
        break

Continue Statement
continue skips the rest of the loop for the current iteration and moves to the next one. This is handy for filtering data during iteration.

n = 0
while n < 5:
    n += 1
    if n % 2 == 0:
        continue
    print("Odd number:", n)

My Take
While loops provide flexibility by running until conditions change. Combined with break and continue, they give fine‑grained control over repetition.
