while Loops

for loops are fantastic for when we know how many times we want to repeat something. But sometimes we won't know how many times we'll want to repeat something in advance! while loops repeat indefinitely while a given condition is true. 

while (test) {
    statement(s);
}

Example: 

int num = 1;
while (num < 5) {
    System.out.print(num + " ");     // output: 1 2 3 4
    num++;
}
