VBA - While loops

While loops run until a criteria is met. This can create cases where to loop will run indefinitely, as a programmer you should consider cases where this might happen.

this example loops until a variable is great than 10.

This returns 55:

Note that this loop performs the same task as the example in the "for loop".

I would reccomned playing with both examples to understand how they both create the same result.

Code Snippet:

Sub a10_2_loops_1()

Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer


j = 0

Do While i < 10
  i = i + 1
  j = j + i

Loop

MsgBox j

End Sub
