Lua LoopsIn the Lua programming language, the while loop statement repeatedly executes the loop body statements when the condition is true.
Syntax
The syntax of a while loop in the Lua programming language is:

The flowchart is as follows:
In the above flowchart, we can see that whencondition (condition)is false, it will skip the current loop and begin executing the immediately following statement.
Example
The following example outputs the value of a in a loop:
Example
a=10
while( a < 20 )
do
print("The value of a is:", a)
a = a+1
end
while( a < 20 )
do
print("The value of a is:", a)
a = a+1
end
After executing the above code, the output result is as follows:
a 的值为: 10 a 的值为: 11 a 的值为: 12 a 的值为: 13 a 的值为: 14 a 的值为: 15 a 的值为: 16 a 的值为: 17 a 的值为: 18 a 的值为: 19Other Extensions
