A while loop repeats a block of code as long a specific condition is True. Here’s an example that prints the numbers from 1 to 5:

x = 1
while x <= 5:
  print(x)
  x = x + 1

Output:

1
2
3
4
5

You can use the break statement to stop executing a while loop. Usually a break statement is used within an if block to stop the loop when a specific condition is met. For example here is the same loop as above but using a break statement:

x = 1
while True:
  if x > 5:
    break
  print(x)
  x = x + 1

Output:

1
2
3
4
5
