Perform an action multiple times based on a boolean condition, checked before the first action (WHILE .. DO)

Starting with a variable x=1, Print the sequence "1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128," by doubling x and checking that x is less than 150.

// The problem is clearly geared towards imperative languages ;-)
// No need to mutate any variable, here's how to do it loop-free functional:
let rec powers2 i = seq { if i < 150 then yield i; yield! powers2 (i*2) }
powers2 1 |> Seq.iter (fun i -> printf "%i, " i)
