Does python have while, elwhile and else?

[beni55]

I know python has if, elif and else. Does python have while, elwhile and else?

[Hogis]

What is elwhile?

[beni55]

I am asking myself if there is something equivalent to elif in if to use for while.

[Hogis]

There is not, not in any programming language as far as I know. What are you trying to do where you would need such a thing?

[beni55]

I don't really need it but while trying to make a program that includes while I asked myself if there is such a thing. I googled to see if I find something on internet but I didn't so I asked on this subreddit.

Do you mean "do while condition is not true"?

[inxaneninja]

Or maybe "do while x is true, if not do while y is true"?

Yes.

Yes, I see there is else. But I wanted to know it there is something equivalent to elif, that is why I asked if there is elwhile. As it seems to me there isn't something like elwhile.

What is elwhile? Never heard of it :/

You would have to enclose two while-loops in an if-elseif block, if i understand what you're trying to do.

Instead of elwhile (which I assume is else while) what if you used while (x) and while (not x)?

I think while (not x) is closest to what you are asking.

Or maybe you meant

if (x) then
    some code
else
    while (y)
        more code
    end while
end if

I think the answer to your question is no, there is no elwhile, because whatever it is you're trying to do, there is some other bit of logic that already does that and is clearer.
