does the inner while loop have to be stopped before the outer loop will run?

too many while loops cause my controls to be very sluggish.

Hello,

The outermost while loop executes everything inside it over and over. Therefore, if you have a while loop inside another while loop, the first iteration of the outer while loop will execute the inner loop, and then the inner while loop will execute over and over again until it is stopped. At this time the outer while loop will perform another iteration, and the process will repeat until the outer loop is stopped. Generally, embedding while loops within while loops is not recommended.
