The condition in the while loop will be the same as the for loop, namely the count is less than 51. Then just display the current count, and then increment the count variable by one.
This snippet (which I wrote in c++) displays what I just said,

    int count=1;
    for(count; count<51; count++)
    cout<<" "<<count;
    
    while(count<51)
    {
      cout<<" "<<count;
      count++;
    }

Both loops do the same thing. I think thats what you are looking for.

int count = 1;

    count = count + 1;
}

But on a serious note (in C++ for example):

int outer = 0;
while (outer  < 10){
    for (int inner = 0; inner < 10; ++inner){
        cout << "outer: " << outer << " inner: " << inner << '\n';
    }
    outer++;
}
int outer = 0;
while (outer  < 10){
    for (int inner = 0; inner < 10; ++inner){
        cout << "outer: " << outer << " inner: " << inner << '\n';
    }
    outer++;
}

Umm I might be confused but I just got three PMs from you (posted above me) and you just reiterated what two previous posters in here have already said. Was that really necessary?
