while loops

A while loop repeats while its condition is True. Make sure something inside changes, or it will loop forever.

Key points

  • Check the condition each time round
  • Update the variable inside
  • Ctrl+C stops a runaway loop
count = 3
while count > 0:
    print(count)
    count -= 1
print("Go!")
