How to use while True in Python

John on April 07, 2021

while True in Python executes a loop infinitely until a break statement is run when a condition is met.

To demonstrate this, let's create an infinite loop using while True and increment the value of count on each iteration. When the count reaches 10 we will break the loop.

count = 0
while True:
   if count == 10:
       break
   count = count + 1
   print(count)
