C While Loop Examples
Real-Life Examples
To demonstrate a practical example of the while loop, we have created a simple "countdown" program:
Example
int countdown = 3;
while (countdown > 0) {
printf("%d\n",
countdown);
countdown--;
}
printf("Happy New Year!!\n");

To demonstrate a practical example of the while loop combined with an if else statement, let's say we play a game of Yatzy:
Example
Print "Yatzy!" If the dice number is 6:
int dice = 1;
while (dice <= 6) {
if (dice < 6) {
printf("No Yatzy\n");
} else {
printf("Yatzy!\n");
}
dice = dice + 1;
}

If the loop passes the values ranging from 1 to 5, it prints "No Yatzy". Whenever it passes the value 6, it prints "Yatzy!".
