BASH - While loo

The while loop construct is used for running some instruction multiple times.

#!/bin/bash
i=0
 
while [ $i -le 2 ]
do
echo Number: $i
((i++))
done

So, the while loop takes the below form.

while [ condition ]
do
commands 1
commands n
done

NOTE: The space surrounding the square brackets are mandatory.
