While loop in C++??

Could anyone explain to me the while loop in C++ with example codes? I am not understanding SoloLearn's explanation.

The while loop takes a condition like an if but unlike the if block, while repeats the code as long as the condition is true int x = 1; while(x <= 5) { cout << x << "\n"; x++; // same as x += 1 or x = x + 1 } The code above will print 1 to 5 on each line because... x (1) <= 5: true x (2) <= 5: true ... x (5) <= 5: true x (6) <= 5: false because x is 6 which is not equal or smaller than 5 so the loop stops

Loops have a lot of use Infinite loops (one that never ends because of the condition given, like... while (true)) in videogames For many algorithms (sorting, searching ect) Repetition of code Read a file line by line

A loop repeatedly executes a set of statements until a particular condition is satisfied

think about the countdown system. it was not manually input by the user but it was generated by the machine that has a while loop condition.
