Help if statment inside a while loop

Hi I am trying to implement an if statment inside a while loop. So I have something of this kind:

error = 999

b = 10

a = 0;

c = 0;

while error> 10

b = b+10

error = error - b

if (error >= 500)

a = a+9

elseif error>=200

c = c+9

end

end

I just want the if statment and elseif statment to execute once, and not execute again EVEN IF the if and else if conditions are true. I tried writing out the return, continue and break words but it doesnt work.

So after the while statment has met its condition and the error becomes less then 10, I want the vairable a =9 and c = 9 at the end.

Please someone help out!!

thank you

Try to add these conditions

if (error >= 500) && a<9
    a = a+9
elseif  error>=200 && c<9
    c = c+9
end

Hi is there another way of doing it? Thank you.

Of course! Here is another way:

error = 999
b = 10
a = 9;
c = 9;
while error> 10
    b = b+10
    error = error - b
end
