Nice question BTW I'd suppose two possible outcomes: a) It will behave exactly the same as if there was "if" instead of "while" so [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. b) It will return syntax error, because "while" is a loop statement withot following colon and anything. but at a first glance, "while" reads as "if" as in english. For comparison, what would you expect this to return?
