Where does the initialisation go in a while loop?

Short answer. Above the loop.

Where does the update go?

At the end of the loop body.

Remember

Start: before the loop
Update: end of the body

Can you turn a for loop into a while loop? Move the start value above the loop. Keep the condition in the brackets. Put the update last in the body. Start goes before the loop. Update goes at the end of the body.
