# While

The **While** loop statement is used to repeatedly execute a statement while a particular specified condition is **True**. And once the condition is considered to be **False**, the processing drops out of the loop.

**While** loops nearly always contain multiple statements.

After the statements within the loop are executed, there will always be another statement to increment the counter.

The structure of a **While** statement is  while \<Condition> do \<Statement>.

## Execute A Statement While The Condition Is True

This example executes the **LogInfo** statement multiple times.

```pascal
procedure ScriptEvent (var Value : variant);
begin
  Value := 1;
 while Value < 10 do
 begin
    LogInfo('Value is equal to '+IntToStr(Value));
    Value := Value + 1;
 end;
end;
```

The counter is manually set to 1 outside of the **While** loop, using the variable called **Value**.

Each time the **While** loop executes, the counter variable called **Value** is incremented by 1.

Eventually **Value** will no longer be less than 10, therefore processing will stop.
