I\'m studying clojure but not quite clear on the difference between the :while and :when test:

=> (for [x [1 2 3] y [1 2 3] :while

    :when iterates over the bindings, but only evaluates the body of the loop when the condition is true. :while iterates over the bindings and evaluates the body until the condition is false:

    (for [x (range 20) :when (not= x 10)] x)
    ; =>(0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19)
    
    (for [x (range 20) :while (not= x 10)] x)
    ; => (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9)
