10 total = 0 # initialize total value = 1 # we start the calculation from 1 while value <= 10: total = total + value value = value + 1 print total # check answer Note: We use the same examples to ...
Yes/No’ say what the total is This algorithm would keep iterating until the answer at the end of the loop is ‘No’, ie it will continue to iterate WHILE there are more numbers to add.
If the condition is never met, then the program loops infinitely. Consider this simple algorithm to count up in twos from one to a hundred: the variable ‘count’ is set to 1 the ‘while ...
