No, while loop working while condition is true. The type of the variables can be the type you want. for example --- string a = "aab"; while (a != "aaa") { //change your a-variable to "aaa" and program will quit from loop. }

As Tony Loa explained, while looks for the condition to be true. So you can do While loops with: bool, int, double, float, byte, etc. Yet with a string (imagine that the user should input an exact phrase an the program ask until it as been changed: "continue? y" if "n" or another exit)
