Online Example

The following example executes a while loop, where the variable a is less than 2Output the value of a when 0, and when a is greater than 15 Execution stops when the loop is terminated:

--[Define variable　--]
a =　10
--[While loop　--]
while(a <　20)
do
　　　print("The value of a is:", a)
　　　a=a+1
　　　if(a >　15)
　　　then
　　　　　　--[Use the break statement to terminate the loop　--]
　　　　　　break
　　　end
end

The execution result of the above code is as follows:

The value of a is:　　　　10
The value of a is:　　　　11
The value of a is:　　　　12
The value of a is:　　　　13
The value of a is:　　　　14
The value of a is:　　　　15
