R While Loop

This lesson is part of R · All levels

Summary

This lesson reviews the 'while' repetition in R that executes the block of code repeatedly during the evaluation condition of the value TRUE. The developer will learn how to set the repeat control variable, use the keyword 'break' to stop the loop, and 'next' to jump to the next iteration.

Key points

The repetition of 'while (condition) ' runs during the value of the condition
Conditions are evaluated before each iteration round begins
The keyword 'break' is used to forcefully stop repetition
The keyword 'next' leaps over the rest of the code in the current iteration (similar to 'continue' in other languages)
