In this Scala While Loop tutorial, we will study what is while loop in Scala with syntax and example. Moreover, we will discuss how Scala while loop works and\u00a0One Infinite Loop with exmaple.<\/p>\n

So, let’s start Scala while loop tutorial.<\/p>\n

What is Scala While Loop?<\/h3>\n

A while loop that will execute a set of statements as long as a condition is true.<\/p>\n

\"Scala<\/a>

Scala While Loop<\/p><\/div>\n

Working of While Loop in Scala<\/h3>\n

A Scala while loop first checks the condition. This may be any expression. Any non-zero value is true; zero is false.<\/p>\n

So, if the condition is true, it executes the code in the block under it. The block of code may be one statement or more. Then, it checks the condition again. If still true, it executes the block of code again. Otherwise, it skips to the first statement outside the loop.<\/p>\n

If the condition is false the first time, the loop skips to the first statement outside the loop, instead.<\/p>\n

The syntax of While Loop<\/h3>\n

We have the following syntax for a Scala while loop:<\/p>\n

while(condition)\r\n{\r\n\/\/Code to execute if condition is true\r\n}<\/pre>\n
Example of While Loop in Scala<\/h3>\n
Let\u2019s build a loop that counts down from 7 to 1.<\/p>\n
object Main ectends App\r\n{\r\n    var x=7\r\n    while(x>0)\r\n    {\r\n        println(x)\r\n        x=x-1\r\n    }\r\n<\/pre>\n
Here\u2019s the output:
\n7
\n6
\n5
\n4
\n3
\n2
\n1
\nInitially, x is 7. The condition is initially true, because 7>0. The loop reduces it to 6. And so on, this loop runs as long as x reaches 1. Then, inside the loop\u2019s body, it becomes 0. Now, when the condition is checked, it evaluates to false. So, it comes out of the loop.<\/p>\n
One Infinite Loop<\/h3>\n
It is easy to forget putting in the statement that modifies the variable involved in the condition. This creates an infinite loop- one that never ends, because the condition is always true. Allow us to demonstrate using a while-loop.<\/p>\n
import scala.util.control._\r\nobject Main extends App\r\n{\r\n    var a=0\r\n    while(a<7)\r\n    {\r\n        print(a)\r\n    }\r\n}<\/pre>\n
This keeps printing 0 infinitely:
\n000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000<\/p>\n
7. Conclusion<\/h2>\n
Hence, we discussed working, syntax and exmaple of while loop in Scala. At last, we covered one infinite loop.\u00a0 Furthermore, if you have any query, feel free to share with us!<\/p>\n
See you again with another basic to learn about. Good day.<\/p>\n
