At the heart of every redundant thing you do, is a loop.
Even the greeks knew it. When Sisyphus pissed off the gods, they stuck him in a while loop
while($gods == “pissed”) {
$sisyphus = “Roll rock up a hill”;
}
Granted the greek gods were a bit tempermental, but like the greeks, your application will execute these types of statements to output data, count, and do all sorts of things that are even, at times, incredibly futile and redundant. Also like gods, while loops can be tempermental, and when hastily constructed can leave Sisyphus pushing his rock for all of eternity.

I like while loops, honestly i go out of my way to write do while loops because i never see them in other code bases.
