# This script uses a while True loop, Variables, and Lists 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.
    #https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3754620/what-does-while-true-mean-in-python

    # 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.
    # https://realpython.com/python-variables/

    # A list is a data structure in Python that is a mutable (changeable) ordered sequence of elements.
        # Each element or value that is inside of a list is called an item.
        # Lists are defined by having values between square brackets [ ].
