Welcome to an exciting coding journey! Today's challenge is the while loop, an indispensable tool in C++. The while loop, akin to an endless runner in a video game, runs code repeatedly until a certain condition becomes false. Are you ready to dive in? Let's begin and tackle the structure, syntax, and more about while loops!

When working with loops, understanding how to update conditions is vital. Thus, let's dive into it first. In C++, increment and decrement operators are essential tools for this purpose. Let's break down what these operators do:

Increment Operators:

1. a += b

   • This shorthand notation is equivalent to a = a + b. It adds the value of b to a and stores the result in a.

2. a++

   • This is the operator. It increases the value of by 1. If used in an expression, it returns the value before the increment.
