# --- Loops --------------------------------------------------------------- #
#
# Looping constructs are available in the form of while and do-while 
# statements. The while statement checks the condition before each
# iteration:

i = 0;
while i < 10:
	i = i + 1;

# This loop runs for 10 times. As for the if-else statement, a single
# statement is expected as the body of the while statement. You can
# provide it a compound statement tho.

i = 0;
while i < 10:
	{
		print('While iteration no. ', i, '\n');
		i = i + 1;
	}

# The do-while statement checks the condition at the end of each
# iteration. This means that at least one iteration is performed!

i = 0;
do
	{
		print('Do-while iteration no. ', i, '\n');
		i = i + 1;
	}
while i < 10;

# Like for if-else statements, variables defined inside the loop
# body are shared with the parent's context.
