While Loops

The Apex while loop repeatedly executes a block of code as long as a particular Boolean condition remains true. In this syntax, code_block is a placeholder value. The syntax is:

1while (condition) {
2    code_block
3}

Unlike do-while, the while loop checks the Boolean condition statement before the first loop is executed. Consequently, it is possible for the code block to never execute.

As an example, the following code outputs the numbers 1 - 10 into the debug log:

1Integer count = 1;
2
3while (count < 11) {
4    System.debug(count);
5    count++;
6}
