While Loop

The While Loop entity repeatedly executes the chain of workload it contains while the Boolean Expression in the left section evaluates to true. A Boolean Expression entity is automatically constructed when a While Loop is constructed. The image on the right displays what a While Loop looks like when it is first constructed.

The While Loop example on the right is equivalent to the following C++ code:

void tick () {

    bool work_finished = false;

    while (work_finished == false) { 
         work_finished = CustomWorkClass::doWork();  // doWork() returns a bool stating whether all the work is done
    }
}
