while repeats until the condition becomes false.

Task

What ends a while loop?

The editor already contains a starting point. Change it until every check passes — the Next task button unlocks when it does.

What you start with

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    int balance = 25000;
    int months = 0;
    while (balance > 0) {
        balance = balance - 10000;
        months++;
    }
    cout << "Months needed: " << months << endl;
    return 0;
}
