2. while True loops
While loops run a set of statements as long as a test condition is true.
2.1. While true
while True:
loops run forever.Instead of using a condition that returns True or False,
True
is used in place of the condition to make the condition always True. As a result, the while-loop runs forever.The statements within the loop are indented with the tab key (which is equivalent to 4 spaces) to make those lines part of the while-loop.
The
while True
loop below scrolls the text I never stop
across the LED display, over and over again.from microbit import *
while True:
display.scroll('I never stop')
When testing code on the microbit, it can be useful to do it within a while True
loop so the results can be seen over and over again.
