When Should you use the While Loop?

The video tutorial explains the concept of while loops in programming, focusing on their syntax and functionality. It demonstrates how to print numbers from 1 to 10 using a while loop and discusses the potential for infinite loops if the loop control variable is not properly managed. The tutorial also covers how to reverse the loop to count down from 10 to 1 by decrementing the loop control variable. Key points include ensuring a boolean condition is used and performing operations on the loop variable to avoid infinite loops.
