using while loop to run till the number is postive ie <!= 0
If I understand you correctly what you want is to increment a number until it reaches above 0?
but the code you offered as your attempt will only loop in the while "$a" is already greater than or equal to 0:
Then since "$a" is instantiated as 0 and it matches the first while condition you start incrementing "$a":
after that increment you are testing if "$a" is less than or equal to 0 and break out of the while loop if it is:
Essentially you do this:
1. Set $a = 0
2. Test is $a is equal or grater than zero
3. Increment $a by 1 (making it now $a=1)
4. Test for it to be 0 or less and break if it is
5. echo $a
6. Restart while loops with $a equal to 1
This will never break as $a will always be 0 or greater which means it will evaluate to true in the while condition and then it will just echo numbers to screen growing by 1 each time forever (or until you manually kill it).
Try this instead:
Now obviously we could just have easily placed a break inside that if statement instead of increment $a. The point was to show a valid way to break if $a is not 0 though.
