What type of loop will continue until a specific condition is false?

The while loop is designed to execute a block of code repeatedly as long as a specified condition remains true. When the condition evaluates to false, the loop will terminate. This characteristic allows for dynamic control over how many times the loop should run based on real-time conditions within the program.

For instance, if you have a game where a player continues to play until they press a "quit" button, a while loop can be implemented to keep running the game as long as the player has not made that decision. The condition is evaluated at the beginning of each iteration, providing flexibility in controlling the flow of the program based on variables that can change.

In contrast, a for loop iterates a set number of times, typically based on a counter or an iterable object, making it less suited for scenarios where the number of iterations needs to depend on a condition that changes dynamically. A do-while loop, while also condition-based, ensures that the code block executes at least once before the condition is evaluated. Nested loops, on the other hand, involve one loop within another and do not define the type of looping behavior based purely on a condition being false.
