The distinctive thing about a while
loop is that the conditional test happens before the loop body, not after—so that the code in the loop may be executed zero times.
Since we have no integer type, we floor the result of the division each time.

std::cout << i << std::endl;
Instead of i /= 2
one can also use the bit shift operator i >>= 1
on integer variables.
Indeed, in C++,
for(init; cond; update){
statement;
}
is equivalent to
{
init;
while(cond){
statement;
update;
}
}

SQL's `WHERE` in a recursive CTE (Common Table Expression) typically acts like a "while", as noted in the first comment below.
To include 0 as the last number to be printed, comment out the last `WHERE` clause as per the "comment me out" comment.
# Start at `start`
create or replace function task(start) as table (
with recursive cte as (
select start::BIGINT as n
union all
select
n // 2 as n
from cte
where n > 0 -- "while n > 0"
)
from cte

J
J is array-oriented, so there is very little need for loops. For example, one could satisfy this task this way:
,. <.@-:^:*^:a: 1024
J does support loops for those times they can't be avoided (just like many languages support gotos for those time they can't be avoided).
monad define 1024
while. 0 < y do.
smoutput y
y =. <. -: y
end.
i.0 0
)
Note: this defines an anonymous function (monad define, and the subsequent lines) and passes it the argument 1024, which means it will be executed as soon as the full definition is available.
Java
int i = 1024;
while(i > 0){
System.out.println(i);
i >>= 1; //also acceptable: i /= 2;
}
With a for loop:
for(int i = 1024; i > 0;i /= 2 /*or i>>= 1*/){
System.out.println(i);
}
JavaScript
var n = 1024;
while (n > 0) {
print(n);
n /= 2;
}
In a functional idiom of JavaScript, however, we can not use a While statement to achieve this task, as statements return no value, mutate state, and can not be composed within other functional expressions.
Instead, we can define a composable loopWhile() function which has no side effects, and takes 3 arguments:
- An initial value
- A function which returns some derived value, corresponding to the body of the While loop
- A conditional function, corresponding to the While test
function loopWhile(varValue, fnDelta, fnTest) {
'use strict';
var d = fnDelta(varValue);
return fnTest(d) ? [d].concat(
loopWhile(d, fnDelta, fnTest)
) : [];
}
console.log(
loopWhile(
1024,
function (x) {
return Math.floor(x/2);
},
function (x) {
return x > 0;
}
).join('\n')
);
If we assume integer division here (Math.floor(x/2)) rather than the floating point division (x/2) used in the imperative example, we obtain the output:

Mathematica /Wolfram Language
Mathematica does not support integer-rounding, it would result in getting fractions: 1/2, 1/4 , 1/8 and so on; the loop would take infinite time without using the Floor function:
i = 1024;
While[i > 0,
Print[i];
i = Floor[i/2];
]
MATLAB / Octave
In Matlab (like Octave) the math is done floating point, then rounding to integer, so that 1/2 will be always 1 and never 0. A 'floor' is used to round the number.
i = 1024;
while (i > 0)
disp(i);
i = floor(i/2);
end
A vectorized version of the code is
printf('%d\n', 2.^[log2(1024):-1:0]);
Maxima

An important thing here is the test for termination is a succeed-or-fail operation, rather than a boolean expression. No boolean value is written to the output; rather, the whole statement fails when n reaches zero. The expression 0 < n either returns n or fails.
import io
procedure main()
local n
n := 1024
while n := write(0 < n) / 2
end
- Output:
$ oit -s loops_while-oi.icn && ./loops_while-oi
1024 512 256 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
The following also works, and shows a way to avoid having to code the method of writing the output into the loop itself.
import io
procedure main()
local coexpression
coexpression := create generator(1024)
while write(@coexpression)
end
procedure generator(n)
while 0 < n do { suspend n; n /:= 2 }
end
To show what I mean, let’s do some (merely illustrative) loop-unrolling where the output gets written.
import io
procedure main()
local coexpression
coexpression := create generator(1024)
write(@coexpression) &
write(@coexpression) &
write(@coexpression) &
write(@coexpression)&
while (write(@coexpression) &
write(@coexpression) &
write(@coexpression) &

end
procedure generator(n)
while 0 < n do { suspend n; n /:= 2 }
end
OCaml
let n = ref 1024;;
while !n > 0 do
Printf.printf "%d\n" !n;
n := !n / 2
done;;
But it is more common to write it in a tail-recursive functional style:
let rec loop n =
if n > 0 then begin
Printf.printf "%d\n" n;
loop (n / 2)
end
in loop 1024

The usage of the type int32 is not convenient, since the math is done floating point, then rounding to integer, so that 1/2 will be always 1 and never 0.

Oz
Oz' for-loop can be used in a C-like manner:
for I in 1024; I>0; I div 2 do

end
Alternatively, we can use the while

declare
I = {NewCell 1024}
in
for while:@I > 0 do
{Show @I}
I := @I div 2

Panda
Panda doesn't have explicit loops, instead we solve it by using the transitive closure operator. It applies a function to each successive value, each unique value is outputted. Our function halves, we make sure that the result is greater than 0 and add newline.

Here is a straightforward translation of the task description:

The same thing with a C-style loop and a bitwise shift operator:
loop (my $n = 1024; $n > 0; $n +>= 1) { say $n }

Unbounded iteration is expressed with the -> operator. An expression (p-> f) x, where p is a predicate and f is a function, evaluates to x, f(x), or f(f(x)), etc. as far as necessary to falsify p.
Printing an intermediate result on each iteration is a bigger problem because side effects are awkward. Instead, the function g in this example iteratively constructs a list of results, which is displayed on termination.
The argument to g is the unit list <1024>. The predicate p is ~&h, the function that tests whether the head of a list is non-null (equivalent to non-zero). The iterated function f is that which conses the truncated half of the head of its argument with a copy of the whole argument. The main program takes care of list reversal and formatting.
#import nat
g = ~&h-> ^C/half@h ~&
#show+
main = %nP*=tx g <1024>

XLISP
The specification calls for an integer value and for the loop to run WHILE that value is greater than zero. In a dynamically typed language like XLISP, variables cannot be declared as integer or real; but the same result is obtained by looping WHILE the value of the variable i is greater than or equal to one.
(DEFINE I 1024)
(WHILE (>= I 1)
(PRINT I)
(DEFINE I (/ I 2)))
XPL0
code CrLf=9, IntOut=11;
int I;
[I:= 1024;
while I>0 do
[IntOut(0, I); CrLf(0);
I:= I>>1; \(same as I/2 for positive I)
];

Z80 Assembly
Use the /S8 switch on the ZSM4 assembler for 8 significant characters for labels and names
;
; while loop, dividing 1024 repeatedly by 2, using Z80 assembly language
;
; Runs under CP/M 3.1 on YAZE-AG-2.51.2 Z80 emulator
; Assembled with zsm4 on same emulator/OS, uses macro capabilities of said assembler
; Created with vim under Windows
;
; Thanks to https://wikiti.brandonw.net for the idea for the conversion routine hl -> decimal ASCII

cseg
setdel nul ; Set string delimiter to 00h
ld ix,value ; Register ix points to memory location of counter
while:
ld a,(ix) ; Z80 has no 16 bit compare, so we check the value byte by byte for 0
or a ; In contrast to other CPUs, loading a register does NOT set the flags
jr nz,docalc ; or-ing the accumulator with itself sets the flags and is faster than "cp 0"
ld a,(ix+1)
or a
jr z,endprog ; If both bytes are 0, end program - this jump could be optimized away
; and replaced with a direct "ret z", but we want to simulate a "real"
; while loop, so we continue (jump to) after the last loop statement
docalc:
ld hl,(value) ; Print the current value, followed by newline
ld iy,buffer ; Register iy points to memory location for current value as text for printout
call dispHL ; dispHL modifies iy, so it must be reset to the buffer on every iteration
print buffer
newline
srl (ix+1) ; Neither has the Z80 a 16 bit shift operation for dividing by 2...
rr (ix) ; Shift the MSB of value right and then rotate the LSB with carry to the right
jr while ; Next iteration
endprog:

; ===================
; End of main program
; ===================
;
;
; Helper routines - notice that the Z80 does not have a divide instruction
; Notice further that CP/M does not have any support for pretty-printing
; formatted numbers and stuff like that. So we have to do all this by hand...
;
;
; Converts the value (unsigned int) in register hl to its decimal representation
; Register iy has memory address of target for converted value
; String is terminated with nul character (\0)
;
dispHL:
ld b,1 ; Flag for leading '0'
irp x,<-10000,-1000,-100,-10,-1>
ld de,x ; Subtract powers of 10 and determine digit
call calcdig
endm
ld a,nul ; Terminate result string with nul
ld (iy+0),a
ret ; End of conversion routine
calcdig:
ld a,cnull-1 ; Determine the digit character
incrdig:
inc a ; Start with '0'
add hl,de ; As long as subtraction is possible, increment digit character
jr c,incrdig
sbc hl,de ; If negative, undo last subtraction and continue with remainder
cp cnull ; Check for leading '0', these are ignored
jr nz,adddig
bit 0,b ; Use bit instruction for check if flag set, register a contains digit
ret nz ; If '0' found and flag set, it is a leading '0' and we return
adddig:
