+======while loops   ======
+====Description   ====
+**while** loops will loop continuously, and infinitely, until the expression inside the parenthesis, () becomes false. Something must change the tested variable, 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.
+====Syntax   ====
+<code arduino>while(expression){
+  // statement(s)
+}</code>
+====Parameters   ====
+expression - a (boolean) C statement that evaluates to true or false
+==== Example   ====
+<code arduino>
+var = 0;
+while(var < 200){
+  // do something repetitive 200 times
+  var++;
+}
+</code>
