Hi Ronald,

@Pasan says (at around 6:40):

This condition is TRUE already, so we never go into the body. So none of the contents of the while loop are evaluated.

He meant to say:

This condition is FALSE, so we never go into the body. So none of the contents of the while loop are evaluated.

Hope that clears up the confusion.

Cheers
