True or False: The while loop constantly checks its condition.

The correct response is that the statement "The while loop constantly checks its condition" is false.

A while loop operates by evaluating its condition at the start of each iteration. If the condition is true, the loop's body will execute, and then the condition will be checked again before starting the next iteration. This means that the loop checks the condition only once at the beginning of each cycle and does not maintain continuous monitoring of it. Once the condition evaluates to false, the loop terminates and does not execute any further.

This behavior is fundamental to how while loops function, as they are not designed to perform ongoing checks but rather to control repeated execution based on specific criteria evaluated at defined moments—specifically, at the start of each iteration.
