if ( condition )		while ( condition )
    statement(s);		    statement(s);
else
    statement(s);

If more than one statement, you need to enclose them in braces, eg.:

int x = 4, y = 10;

while ( x < y )
{
    if ( y - x > 4 )
        x += 2;
    else
        x += 1;

    printf( "x = %d, y = %d\n", x, y );
}

PLEASE find a good C book or class and curl up with it.  This newsgroup
is not here to answer basic questions about the language.
