Why is the while loop is not stoping after the last statement?

In the next program the while loop suppose to stop after the printf in the block is executed:

isn't it?

#include <stdio.h>
#define HOUR 60

int main()

{

    int min, smallThenHour, timeInHour, minLeft;

    printf("please enter time in minutes: \n");

    scanf("%d", &min);

    while (min > 0)

    {
        timeInHour = min/HOUR;
        minLeft = min % HOUR;
        smallThenHour = min < HOUR;

        printf("in %d seconds, there are %d and %d min",min, timeInHour,smallThenHour);
    }

}

Would appreciate is someone can tell a c beginner why its not stopping :)

tnx

Because you never change the value of min inside the loop body. Once the condition is true, it always remains true.
