CPB_WhileTrueVar.py

# This script uses a while True loop and Variables to light neopixels on the CPB with CircuitPython

# Coding concepts used in the script

    # while True means loop forever
        # The while statement takes an expression and executes the loop body.
            # while the expression evaluates to (boolean) "true". True always evaluates to
            # boolean "true" and thus executes the loop body indefinitely.

    # Variables are symbolic names that reference or point (pointer) to an object.
        # Once an object is assigned to a variable, you can refer to the object by that name.
