To execute the loop the first time, the condition must initially be true.
• Any variables referenced in the condition must be set before the
command. (You can build the values into the function or

program, or you can prompt the user to enter the values.)
• The loop must contain commands that change the values in the
condition, eventually causing it to be false. Otherwise, the condition
is always true and the function or program cannot exit the loop
(called an infinite loop).
