This is a multipart blog article series where I am going to explain the concepts of shell scripting and how to write a shell script in Linux, UNIX or Mac based systems. You can also follow this tutorial blog using windows but for that you have to install a bash from.

In this article we will learn about while loop. How to use while loop and what are it’s functionalities.

• The syntax of while loop

  while [condition]
  do
    command1
    command2
    command3
  done
  

• If we want to increment the value of the variable we can do that in this way n=$(( n+1 )) or (( n++ )) or (( ++n ))

• First the condition we be checked in the while loop. If the condition is true than the part written after do will be executed.
• It will execute till the condition becomes false.
