Skip a while loop if the condition is not met at the start

Help

Hi, I have a while loop that has the condition “while A=True”. Now I would like that if the process comes to the while loop and A=False it should do nothing within the loop (skip instead of doing once). How could I achieve that? It is within a longer sequence so I would like to avoid changing the structure completely. An if statement over the whole loop is also not readable.Thanks for suggestions

The While A=True will execute the loop while the condition is true. Otherwise, it will skip the loop.

While(A=True):
Statement1;
Statement2;
.
.
Statementn;

Okay, so the while loop ends immediately without doing the whole process once. Thanks

The Do While loop is different. It will execute first the loop conditions, and then will check if the condtion is true or not.

The While loop checks first if the condition is true or not, and then will execute the body depending on your condition.

Okay, thanks a lot. That’s what I was confused about.
My second question would be if there is something like a “break” activity for the while loop.

I am not sure, but i think there is no way to break a loop. You can do a break by throwing it to an exeption with a Throw activity.
