/// Loop while a condition is upheld.

/// A `while` expression is used for predicate loops. The `while` expression runs the conditional
/// expression before running the loop body, then runs the loop body if the conditional
/// expression evaluates to `true`, or exits the loop otherwise.
///
/// ```rust
/// let mut counter = 0;
///
/// while counter < 10 {
/// println!("{}", counter);
/// counter += 1;
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Like the [`for`] expression, we can use `break` and `continue`. A `while` expression
/// cannot break with a value and always evaluates to `()` unlike [`loop`].
///
/// ```rust
/// let mut i = 1;
///
/// while i < 100 {
/// i *= 2;
/// if i == 64 {
/// break; // Exit when `i` is 64.
/// }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// As `if` expressions have their pattern matching variant in `if let`, so too do `while`
/// expressions with `while let`. The `while let` expression matches the pattern against the
/// expression, then runs the loop body if pattern matching succeeds, or exits the loop otherwise.
/// We can use `break` and `continue` in `while let` expressions just like in `while`.
///
/// ```rust
/// let mut counter = Some(0);
///
/// while let Some(i) = counter {
/// if i == 10 {
/// counter = None;
/// } else {
/// println!("{}", i);
/// counter = Some (i + 1);
/// }
