The main difference between while and until loops lies in their condition evaluation:
-
whileloop: Executes the block of code as long as the specified condition istrue. If the condition isfalseat the start, the loop body will not execute at all.// Example in Go i := 0 for i < 5 { fmt.Println(i) i++ } -
untilloop: Executes the block of code until the specified condition becomestrue. This means the loop continues as long as the condition isfalse.// Example in Ruby i = 0 until i == 5 do puts i i += 1 end
In summary, a while loop checks the condition before executing the loop body, while an until loop checks the condition after executing the loop body.
