While performs a group of 
commands
 while 
condition
 is
true. 
condition
 is frequently a relational test (Chapter 2).
condition
 is tested when 
While is encountered. If
condition
 is true (nonzero), the program executes a group
of 
commands
. 
End signifies the end of the group. When
condition
 is false (zero), the program executes each
command
 following 
End. While instructions can be nested.

Program Output
Repeat repeats a group of 
commands
 until 
condition
 is
true (nonzero). It is similar to 
While, but 
condition
 is tested
when 
End is encountered; therefore, the group of
commands
 is always executed at least once. 
Repeat
instructions can be nested.
