.. highlight:: cpp .. _lang-while: ``while`` ========= Syntax ------ :: while (expression) { // block of code } Description ----------- ``while`` loops will repeat the statements inside their associated block of code until the expression inside the parentheses becomes :ref:`false <lang-constants-false>`. Something must change the tested expressions' value, or the ``while`` loop will never exit. This could be in your code, such as an incremented variable, or an external condition, such as testing a sensor. Example ------- :: var = 0; while(var < 200) { // do something repetitive 200 times var++; } .. include:: cc-attribution.txt
