inputwhile

Input/while is a programming construct that combines input and conditional execution in a single statement. It is often used in scripting languages such as Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and others that are designed to facilitate end-user programming and automation.

In an input/while statement, the program checks if input is available and, if so, executes a block of code repeatedly while input is still available. This allows for efficient and automated processing of tasks that are dependent on user input.

The basic syntax of an input/while statement typically involves brackets or a 'do-while' loop to define the code block that will be executed repeatedly. The loop continues to execute until a condition is met that prohibits further input or until the user explicitly breaks out of the loop.

The input/while construct is particularly useful in applications such as data entry and form-based interfaces where user input needs to be continuously processed and validated in real-time. It also simplifies the development process by eliminating the need for explicit looping constructs and conditional statements.

Some examples of language that support the input/while construct include but are not limited to VBScript, PowerScript, and AutoHotkey. In these and other similar environments, the input/while construct is an essential tool for streamlining processes and automating repetitive tasks with the aid of user input.

Input/while loops can also be used in conjunction with other programming constructs, such as error handling and logging, to create more comprehensive and robust applications.
