open while loop lua

To open a while loop in Lua, you can use the following syntax:

while condition do
   -- code to be executed
end

Here is an explanation of each step:

1. The keyword "while" is used to indicate the start of the while loop.
2. The "condition" is a logical expression that determines whether the loop should continue or not. If the condition is true, the loop will execute. If the condition is false, the loop will exit.
3. The "do" keyword is used to indicate the start of the code block that will be executed while the condition is true.
4. Inside the code block, you can write the code that you want to execute repeatedly as long as the condition is true.
5. After the code block, the "end" keyword is used to indicate the end of the while loop.

The code inside the while loop will continue to execute as long as the condition remains true. Once the condition becomes false, the loop will exit and the program will continue executing the code after the while loop.

It's important to ensure that the condition eventually becomes false, otherwise, the while loop will result in an infinite loop, which can cause the program to hang or crash.
