Why is the while argument !isExit on the correct solution?

Under discussion

I can understand the rest of the solution, but I don't understand why the argument for 'while' is !isExit. if boolean isExit = false, then surely !isExit = true and therefore the while loops stops straight away? Can someone clarify for me please?

I don't know the solution but I can tell you that from your information: as long as the while condition evaluates to true the loop will run

boolean isExit = false;
while (!isExit) { // evaluates to true, loop is running
    if (someCondition) {
        isExit = true; // set the boolean so that the loop stops before the next iteration, !isExit wil evaluate to false
    }
    // some code here
}
