Slide 1 Welcome	Welcome to the spoken tutorial on While Loop in java.
Slide 2 Learning Outcomes	In this tutorial, you will learn About the while loop. How To use it.
Slide 3 Tools Used	For this tutorial we are using Ubuntu 11.10, JDK 1.6 and Eclipse 3.7
Slide 4 Prerequisites	To follow this tutorial, you must have knowledge of relational operators in Java If not, for relevant tutorials please visit our website as shown. http://spoken-tutorial.org
Slide 5 While loop	Here is the structure of a while loop. It has two parts. One is the loop running condition and the second is the loop variable. Let us now look at an example. Switch to Eclipse
Point to the code Minimize Slides and open Eclipse Eclipse should contain the following code. public class WhileDemo{ public static void main(String[] args){ } }	Here We have the eclipse IDE skeleton required for rest of the code I have created a class WhileDemo and added the main method to it.
Type in main method, int n = 1;	We shall print numbers from 1 to 10 using a while loop. Type int n = 1
Highlight int n = 1;	This variable n is going to be our loop variable
Type in next line, while (n <= 10)	Then type while 'in parenthesis n less than or equal to 10 open and close braces
Highlight while (n <= 10)	This condition is called looping running condition. It means the loop will run as long as this condition is true. In our case, it will run as long as the value of n is less than or equal to 10. And it will stop only when the value of n become greater than 10.
Change the while... to while (n <= 10) { System.out.println(n); n = n + 1; }	Inside the loop, we shall print the value of n System.out.println(n); and then increment n = n + 1;
Highlight print statement Then increment statement	This way, first 1 is printed and then the value of n becomes 2.
Highlight condition Highlight print statement Then increment statement.	Then the loop condition is checked. Since it is true. 2 is printed and n becomes 3.
Highlight condition	And so on loop progresses untill 10 is printed after that n becomes 11 and the condition is not true and the loop will stop So Let us see the code in action.
Save and run. Point to output	Save and run. As we can see, the numbers from 1 to 10 are printed. Now we shall print numbers from 50 to 40
Change n = 1 to n = 50	So We start with 50. Change n = 1 to n = 50
Change n <= 10 to n >= 40	We go till 40. In other words as long as n is greater than or equal to 40. So change the condition to n greater than or equal to 40.
Change n = n + 1 to n = n - 1	And since we are looping from a bigger number to a smaller number, we have decrement the loop variable. So Change n=n + 1 to n=n - 1
Save and run. Point to output	Save and run. As we can see, the the numbers 50 to 40 has been printed Now we shall print the first 10 multiples of 7.
Change n = 50 to n = 7 Change n >= 40 to n <= 70 Change n = n – 1 to n = n + 7	To do that, we start with 7 So change n = 50 to n = 7and then end with 70. Change the condition to n less than equal to 70 This way, we make sure the loop stops at 70.
	To get the multiples, we shall increment the loop variable by 7. So, change n=n - 1 to n=n + 7 This way first 7 is printed and n becomes 14, 14 is printed and so on untill 70. Save and run
Save and run. Point to output	As we can see, the first 10 multiples of 7 is printed. We can also use a while loop to get the sum of digits of a number. Let us see how to do so.
Change n = 7 to n = 13876	First clear the main method. int n equal to 13876. This is the number
Add int dSum = 0 as the next line	Then int dSum equal to 0The variable dsum with symbolic for digit sum will contain the sum of digits
Change n <= 70 to n > 0	Type while, n greater than 0 open close bracket The reason for using this condition will be evident in a while.
Remove n = n + 7 and add this dSum = dSum + (n % 10); n = n / 10;	To get the sum of digits, we must first get the digits. To do that we use modulo operator. Type dSum = dSum + (n % 10) So we get the unit digit and add it to dsum
	Now that we remove the digit by dividing by 10. n = n / 10
Point to the code : dSum	So when the loop is run for the first time, dSum will be 6 and n will be 1387.
Point to the code : dSum and n	And when the loop is run for the the second time, dSum will be sum of 7 and 6 which is 13, and n will become 138. So on, as the loop progresses, the digits will be removed from n and finally n become zero.After that the condition n greater than 0 will be false and the loop will stop
	So let us now add a print statement
Change println(n) to println(dSum) save and run. Point to output	System.out.println(dSum) Let us see the code and action. Save and run As we can see the sum of digit which is 25 has been printed
	This way, a while loop, is one of the most fundamental constructs in programming, can be used.
Minimize the Eclipse window and switch to slides. Slide 6 Summary	This brings us to the end of this tutorial. In this tutorial we have learnt About while loop how to use it
Slide 7Assignment	As an assignment for this tutorial solve the following problem. Given a number, compute its reverse by using a while loop. Example: 19435 => 53491
