 Usage

The while loop executes a set of statements as long as a the
test condition remains true. The syntax of a while loop is

    while test_expression
       statements
    end

Note that a conditional expression is considered true if the
real part of the result of the expression contains any non-
zero elements (this strange convention is adopted for
compatibility with MATLAB).


 Examples

Here is a while loop that adds the integers from 1 to 100:

  --> accum = 0;
  --> k=1;
  --> while (k<=100), accum = accum + k; k = k + 1; end
  --> accum

  ans =
   5050
