This would do it
x = 20
while x > 0:
print(x)
x -= 1
If you need to include an if statement in the loop, you could do this instead.
x = 20
while True:
print(x)
x -= 1
if x == 0:
break
If you wanted to do this with a for loop, it would look like this:
for x in range(1, 20):
print(x)
If you wanted to do it all in one line, you could do this. Just note that it doesn’t use a while loop or an if statement.
print("\n".join([str(x) for x in range(20, 0, -1)]))

solved while loop and counting down from 20
