title: replace if/else with while/if statement
body: <p>is it possible to replace a <code>if/else</code> statement with <code>while</code> and <code>if</code> statement(s) (say, we're working in C)?  If it's possible, can you please share an example.  So, say I have</p>
  
  <pre><code>if (cond1)
      exec1
  else 
      exec2
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I really want to get rid of the <code>if/else</code> and just use <code>if/while</code> constructs.  </p>
  
  <p>Is it enough for a Turing Complete language to have <code>while/if</code> statements (for the control flow)? </p>
  
  <p>How would I do it with <code>if/else</code> constructs? </p>
  
  <p>(this is not a homework, this is out of curiosity)</p>
