Code is called as a subroutine (i.e. JSR LoopsWhile). Specific OS/hardware routines for printing are left unimplemented.

LoopsWhile:	PHA			;push accumulator onto stack

		LDA #$00		;the 6502 is an 8-bit processor
		STA Ilow		;and so 1024 ($0400) must be stored in two memory locations
		LDA #$04
		STA Ihigh		
WhileLoop:	LDA Ilow
		BNE NotZero
		LDA Ihigh
		BEQ EndLoop
NotZero:	JSR PrintI		;routine not implemented
		LSR Ihigh		;shift right
		ROR Ilow		;rotate right
		JMP WhileLoop

EndLoop:	PLA			;restore accumulator from stack
		RTS			;return from subroutine

Printing routines are left out since this is not the focus of the task.

It is also possible to write an actual ‘while’ loop, although this method requires a variable (the ‘var’ declaration below) and has other problems, and should be used sparingly.

The distinctive thing about a while loop is that the conditional test happens before the loop body, not after—so that the code in the loop may be executed zero times.

Since we have no integer type, we floor the result of the division each time.

10 LET I=1024
20 IF I=0 THEN GOTO 60
30 PRINT I
40 LET I=INT (I/2)
50 GOTO 20
i = 1024
WHILE i > 0
   PRINT i
   i = i \ 2  ' Using \ for integer division instead of /
WEND

Converts to integers so output is a little bit shorter and neater.

i = 1024
while { i > 0 } {
    p i
    i = (i / 2).to_i
}

C

int i = 1024;
while(i > 0) {
  printf("%d\n", i);
  i /= 2;
}

In for loop fashion:

int i;
for(i = 1024;i > 0; i/=2){
   printf("%d\n", i);
}
int i = 1024;
while(i > 0){
   System.Console.WriteLine(i);
   i /= 2;
}
int i = 1024;
while(i > 0){
  std::cout << i << std::endl;
  i /= 2;
}

Alternatively, it can be done with for:

for(int i = 1024; i > 0; i /= 2)
  std::cout << i << std::endl;

Instead of i /= 2 one can also use the bit shift operator i >>= 1 on integer variables.

Indeed, in C++,

for(init; cond; update){
  statement;
}

is equivalent to

{
  init;
  while(cond){
    statement;
    update;
  }
}

SQL's `WHERE` in a recursive CTE (Common Table Expression) typically acts like a "while", as noted in the first comment below.

To include 0 as the last number to be printed, comment out the last `WHERE` clause as per the "comment me out" comment.

# Start at `start`
create or replace function task(start) as table (
   with recursive cte as (
     select start::BIGINT as n
     union all
     select 
        n // 2 as n
     from cte
     where n > 0  -- "while n > 0"
  ) 
  from cte
  where n > 0  -- comment me out to include the last 0
);

from task(1024);

Explanation:

    [ ][         ]# {while[condition>0][do]}
     $              {DUP}
        $.          {DUP, print top of stack to STDOUT}
          10,       {print newline}
             2/\%   {2 DIV/MOD SWAP POP}

main = loop 1024      
  where loop n = when (n > 0)
                      (do print n
                          loop (n `div` 2))

You can use whileM_ function from monad-loops package that operates on monads:

import Data.IORef
import Control.Monad.Loops

main :: IO ()
main = do r <- newIORef 1024
          whileM_ (do n <- readIORef r
                     return (n > 0))
                  (do n <- readIORef r
                     print n
                     modifyIORef r (`div` 2))

With MonadComprehensions extension you can write it a little bit more readable:

{-# LANGUAGE MonadComprehensions #-}
import Data.IORef 
import Control.Monad.Loops

main :: IO ()
main = do
   r <- newIORef 1024 
   whileM_ [n > 0 | n <- readIORef r] $ do
        n <- readIORef r  
        print n
        modifyIORef r (`div` 2)

Using shift right.

var i = 1024;
    
while (i > 0) {
  Sys.println(i);
  i >>= 1;
}

Using integer division.

var i = 1024;
    
while (i > 0) {
  Sys.println(i);
  i = Std.int(i / 2);
}

1024

   while write(0 < (i := i / 2))
end
let N be 1024;
while N > 0:
	say "[N][line break]";
	let N be N / 2;

Use / for floating-point division, and use (> i 0) for full printing of the sequence (as the output of 1 here is due to the return of the last while statement).

J

J is array-oriented, so there is very little need for loops. For example, one could satisfy this task by giving the computed array of numbers as the result:

,. <.@-:^:*^:a: 1024

J does support loops for those times they can't be avoided (just like many languages support goto's for those time they can't be avoided). The following loops print the numbers one by one, but don't display a final array result:

0 0$([ echo)@<.@-:^:*^:_. ]1024

or

monad define 1024
  while. 0 < y do.
    echo y
    y =. <. -: y 
  end.
  i.0 0
)

Note: this defines an anonymous function (monad define, and the subsequent lines) and passes as input the argument 1024, which means the function will be executed as soon as the full definition is available.

def i = 1024
while (i > 0) {
  println i
  i /= 2
}


int i = 1024;
while(i > 0){
   System.out.println(i);
   i >>= 1; //also acceptable: i /= 2;
}

With a for loop:

for(int i = 1024; i > 0;i /= 2 /*or i>>= 1*/){
   System.out.println(i);
}
var n = 1024;
while (n > 0) {
  print(n);
  n /= 2;
}

In a functional idiom of JavaScript, however, we can not use a While statement to achieve this task, as statements return no value, mutate state, and can not be composed within other functional expressions.

Instead, we can define a composable loopWhile() function which has no side effects, and takes 3 arguments:

  1. An initial value
  2. A function which returns some derived value, corresponding to the body of the While loop
  3. A conditional function, corresponding to the While test
function loopWhile(varValue, fnDelta, fnTest) {
  'use strict';
  var d = fnDelta(varValue);

  return fnTest(d) ? [d].concat(
    loopWhile(d, fnDelta, fnTest)
  ) : [];
}

console.log(
  loopWhile(
    1024,
    function (x) {
      return Math.floor(x/2);
    },
    function (x) {
      return x > 0;
    }
  ).join('\n')
);

If we assume integer division here (Math.floor(x/2)) rather than the floating point division (x/2) used in the imperative example, we obtain the output:

Using recurse/1

# To avoid printing 0, test if the input is greater than 1
1024 | recurse( if . > 1 then ./2 | floor else empty end)

Using recurse/2 (requires jq >1.4)

1024 | recurse( ./2 | floor; . > 0)

Using a filter

def task: if . > 0 then ., (./2 | floor | task) else empty end;
1024|task

Using while/2

If your jq does not include while/2 as a builtin, here is its definition:

def while(cond; update):
  def _while: if cond then ., (update | _while) else empty end;
  _while;

For example:

1024|while(. > 0; ./2|floor)
#!/usr/bin/env jsish
/* Loops/While in Jsish */
var i = 1024;

while (i > 0) { puts(i); i = i / 2 | 0; }

Jumps using Goto can be done to exit a While/End While (not to insert)

There are two forms: While { } and While End While

Command Continue skip rest of inner statetements and start the loop again checking the expression

To avoid generating an infinite sequence (1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, etc.) of fractions after n takes the value 1, we use integer division (iquo) rather than the solidus operation (/).

Mathematica does not support integer-rounding, it would result in getting fractions: 1/2, 1/4 , 1/8 and so on; the loop would take infinite time without using the Floor function:

i = 1024;
While[i > 0,
 Print[i];
 i = Floor[i/2];
]

In Matlab (like Octave) the math is done floating point, then rounding to integer, so that 1/2 will be always 1 and never 0. A 'floor' is used to round the number.

i = 1024;
while (i > 0)
    disp(i);
    i = floor(i/2);
end

A vectorized version of the code is

  printf('%d\n', 2.^[log2(1024):-1:0]);
block([n], n: 1024, while n > 0 do (print(n), n: quotient(n, 2)));

/* using a C-like loop: divide control variable by two instead of incrementing it */
for n: 1024 next quotient(n, 2) while n > 0 do print(n);
a = 1024
while a > 0 do
(
    print a
    a /= 2
)

Metafont has no while loop, but it can be "simulated" easily.

a := 1024;
forever: exitif not (a > 0);
  show a;
  a := a div 2;
endfor
i = 1024
while i > 0 {
    print i
    i = i :/ 2
}
Works with: min version 0.19.3

An important thing here is the test for termination is a succeed-or-fail operation, rather than a boolean expression. No boolean value is written to the output; rather, the whole statement fails when n reaches zero. The expression 0 < n either returns n or fails.

import io

procedure main()
   local n
   n := 1024
   while n := write(0 < n) / 2
end
Output:

$ oit -s loops_while-oi.icn && ./loops_while-oi

The following also works, and shows a way to avoid having to code the method of writing the output into the loop itself.

import io

procedure main()
  local coexpression
  coexpression := create generator(1024)
  while write(@coexpression)
end

procedure generator(n)
  while 0 < n do { suspend n; n /:= 2 }
end

To show what I mean, let’s do some (merely illustrative) loop-unrolling where the output gets written.

import io

procedure main()
  local coexpression
  coexpression := create generator(1024)
  write(@coexpression) &
      write(@coexpression) &
      write(@coexpression) &
      write(@coexpression)&
      while (write(@coexpression) &
             write(@coexpression) &
             write(@coexpression) &
             write(@coexpression))
end

procedure generator(n)
  while 0 < n do { suspend n; n /:= 2 }
end
let n = ref 1024;;
while !n > 0 do
  Printf.printf "%d\n" !n;
  n := !n / 2
done;;

But it is more common to write it in a tail-recursive functional style:

let rec loop n =
  if n > 0 then begin
    Printf.printf "%d\n" n;
    loop (n / 2)
  end
in loop 1024
i = 1024;
while (i > 0)
  disp(i)
  i = floor(i/2);
endwhile

The usage of the type int32 is not convenient, since the math is done floating point, then rounding to integer, so that 1/2 will be always 1 and never 0.

Odin only has one loop type: for

package main

import "core:fmt"

main :: proc() {
    for i := 1024 ; i > 0 ; i /= 2 {
		fmt.println(i)
    }
}
1024 while ( dup ) [ dup println 2 / ]
main: func {
  value := 1024
  while (value > 0) {
    value toString() println()
    value /= 2
  }
}

Oz' for-loop can be used in a C-like manner:

for I in 1024; I>0; I div 2 do
   {Show I}
end

Alternatively, we can use the while feature of the for-loop with a mutable variable:

declare
  I = {NewCell 1024}
in
  for while:@I > 0 do
     {Show @I}
     I := @I div 2
  end

Panda doesn't have explicit loops, instead we solve it by using the transitive closure operator. It applies a function to each successive value, each unique value is outputted. Our function halves, we make sure that the result is greater than 0 and add newline.

fun half(a) type integer->integer a.divide(2)
1024.trans(func:half).gt(0) nl
dim x%:rem an integer

x%=1024

while x%>0

     print x%
     x%=x%/2

end_while

rem output starts with 1024 and ends with 1.

terminate
n=1024;
while(n,
  print(n);
  n/=2
);
program divby2(output);

var
  i: integer;

begin
  i := 1024;
  while i > 0 do
    begin
      writeln(i);
      i := i div 2
    end
end.


##
var n := 1024;
while n > 0 do
begin
  Println(n);
  n := n div 2;
end;
Local string &CRLF;
Local number &LoopNumber;
&LoopNumber = 1024;
&CRLF = Char(10) | Char(13);

While &LoopNumber > 0;
 WinMessage(&LoopNumber | &CRLF);
 &LoopNumber = &LoopNumber / 2;
End-While;
my $n = 1024;
while($n){
    print "$n\n";
    $n = int $n / 2;
}

or written as a for-loop and using the bit-shift operator

for(my $n = 1024; $n > 0; $n >>= 1){
    print "$n\n";
}

until (condition) is equivalent to while (not condition).

my $n = 1024;
until($n == 0){
    print "$n\n";
    $n = int $n / 2;
}
integer i = 1024
while i!=0 do
    ?i
    i = floor(i/2)  -- (see note)
end while

note: using i=i/2 would iterate over 1000 times until i is 4.94e-324 before the final division made it 0, if it didn't typecheck when it got set to 0.5

PostScript has no real while loop, but it can easily be created with an endless loop and a check at the beginning:

1024
{
    dup 0 le     % check whether still greater than 0
    { pop exit } % if not, exit the loop
    if
    dup =        % print the number
    2 idiv       % divide by two
}
loop
[int]$i = 1024
while ($i -gt 0) {
    $i
    $i /= 2
}
while(0) :- !.
while(X) :-
    writeln(X),
    X1 is X // 2,
    while(X1).

Start the calculation at a top-level like this:

?- while(1024).
n = 1024
while n > 0:
    print (n)
    n //= 2
1024
[ dup 0 > while 
  dup echo cr 2 /

Loop/When

#lang racket
(let loop ([n 1024])
  (when (positive? n)
    (displayln n)
    (loop (quotient n 2))))

Macro

#lang racket
(define-syntax-rule (while condition body ...)
  (let loop ()
    (when condition
      body ...
      (loop))))

(define n 1024)
(while (positive? n)
  (displayln n)
  (set! n (sub1 n)))

(formerly Perl 6)

Here is a straightforward translation of the task description:

my $n = 1024; while $n > 0 { say $n; $n div= 2 }

The same thing with a C-style loop and a bitwise shift operator:

loop (my $n = 1024; $n > 0; $n +>= 1) { say $n }

And here's how you'd really write it, using a sequence operator that intuits the division for you:

.say for 1024, 512, 256 ... 1
REBOL [
	Title: "Loop/While"
	URL: http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Loop/While
]

value: 1024
while [value > 0][
	print value
	value: to integer! value / 2
]

Since version 3.21.15 there is available integer-divide with // operator, so the code can be just:

value: 1024 while [value > 0][ print value value: value // 2 ]
let n = ref(1024)
while n.contents > 0 {
  Js.log(n.contents)
  n := n.contents / 2
}
1024 [ cr &putn sip 2 / dup ] while

version 1, simple

/*REXX program demonstrates a  DO WHILE  with index reduction construct.*/
j=1024                                 /*define the initial value of  J.*/
        do  while  j>0                 /*test if made at the top of  DO.*/
        say j
        j=j%2                          /*in REXX, % is integer division.*/
        end
                                       /*stick a fork in it, we're done.*/
Output:
1024
512
256
128
64
32
16
8
4
2
1

version 2, right justified

Note that a faster version could be implemented with

DO WHILE x\==0

but that wouldn't be compliant with the wording of the task.

/*REXX program demonstrates a  DO WHILE  with index reduction construct.*/
x=1024                                 /*define the initial value of  X.*/
        do  while  x>0                 /*test if made at the top of  DO.*/
        say right(x,10)                /*pretty output by aligning right*/
        x=x%2                          /*in REXX, % is integer division.*/
        end
                                       /*stick a fork in it, we're done.*/
Output:
       1024
        512
        256
        128
         64
         32
         16
          8
          4
          2
          1

version 3, faster WHILE comparison

/*REXX program demonstrates a  DO WHILE  with index reduction construct.*/
x=1024                                 /*define the initial value of  X.*/
        do  while  x>>0                /*this is an  exact  comparison. */
        say right(x,10)                /*pretty output by aligning right*/
        x=x%2                          /*in REXX, % is integer division.*/
        end
                                       /*stick a fork in it, we're done.*/

output is the same as version 2.

version 4, index reduction

/*REXX program demonstrates a  DO WHILE  with index reduction construct.*/
                                       /* [↓] note:   BY   defaults to 1*/  
        do j=1024  by 0  while  j>>0   /*this is an  exact  comparison. */
        say right(j,10)                /*pretty output by aligning right*/
        j=j%2                          /*in REXX, % is integer division.*/
        end
                                       /*stick a fork in it, we're done.*/

output is the same as version 2.

In Tailspin you can loop by sending a value back to the matchers (by "-> #"). Depending on how you set that up, you create different loops.

1024 -> \(
  <0~..> '$;$#10;' -> !OUT::write
    $ ~/ 2 -> #
\) -> !VOID
  i =: 1024
  ?* i >= 1

Unbounded iteration is expressed with the -> operator. An expression (p-> f) x, where p is a predicate and f is a function, evaluates to x, f(x), or f(f(x)), etc. as far as necessary to falsify p.

Printing an intermediate result on each iteration is a bigger problem because side effects are awkward. Instead, the function g in this example iteratively constructs a list of results, which is displayed on termination.

The argument to g is the unit list <1024>. The predicate p is ~&h, the function that tests whether the head of a list is non-null (equivalent to non-zero). The iterated function f is that which conses the truncated half of the head of its argument with a copy of the whole argument. The main program takes care of list reversal and formatting.

#import nat

g = ~&h-> ^C/half@h ~&

#show+

main = %nP*=tx g <1024>

Explicit iteration has its uses but there are always alternatives. The same output is produced by the following main program using bit manipulation.

The specification calls for an integer value and for the loop to run WHILE that value is greater than zero. In a dynamically typed language like XLISP, variables cannot be declared as integer or real; but the same result is obtained by looping WHILE the value of the variable i is greater than or equal to one.

(DEFINE I 1024)

(WHILE (>= I 1)
    (PRINT I)
    (DEFINE I (/ I 2)))
code CrLf=9, IntOut=11;
int I;
[I:= 1024;

        [IntOut(0, I);  CrLf(0);
