### `bounded_while_loop`

If you know a loop will terminate before `max_steps` steps then `bounded_while_loop` is better than a normal while loop.
`bounded_while_loop` uses `jax.lax.scan` under the hood, enabling both forward-mode and backward-mode differentiation.
Speed and efficiency are maintained by evaluating the termination condition and, when satisfied, switching to a no-op function so that, under `jax.jit`, the remaining scan steps execute a cheap no-op instead of re-running `cond_fn`/`body_fn`, even though all steps are still part of the compiled program.

Simple loop over a scalar:
