+# While
+
+### @parent blocks/language
+ 
+
+Repeat code while a [Boolean](/reference/types/boolean) `condition` is true.
+
+```blocks
+while(true) {
+}
+```
+
+The while loop has a *condition* that evaluates to a [Boolean](/reference/types/boolean) value. After the `do` keyword, add the code that you want to run while the `condition` is `true`. The while loop concludes with `end while`.
+
+The condition is tested before any code runs. Which means that if the condition is false, the code inside the loop doesn't execute.
+
+### Example: diagonal line
+
+The following example uses a while loop to make a diagonal line on the LED screen (points `0, 0`, `1, 1`, `2, 2`, `3, 3`, `4, 4`).
+
+```blocks
+let index = 4;
+while(index >= 0) {
+    led.plot(index, index);
+    index--;
+}

+# Assignment Operator
+
+Use an equals sign to make a [variable](/blocks/variables/var) store the [number](/reference/types/number) 
+or [string](/reference/types/string) you say.
+
+When you use the equals sign to store something in a variable, the equals sign is called
+an *assignment operator*, and what you store is called a *value*.
+
+### Storing numbers in variables
+
+This program makes the variable `item` equal `5` and then shows it on the [LED screen](/device/screen).
+
+````blocks
+let item = 5
+basic.showNumber(item)
+````
+
+### Storing strings in variables
+
+This program makes the variable `name` equal `Joe` and then shows it on the [LED screen](/device/screen).
+
+````blocks
+let name = "Joe"
+basic.showString(name);
+````
+
+### Notes
+
+You can use the assignment operator with variables of 
+every [type](/reference/types). A *type* is which kind of thing
+a variable can store, like a number or string.

+# Local Variables
+
+How to define and use local variables.
+
+### @parent language
+
+A variable is a place where you can store and retrieve data. Variables have a name, a [type](/reference/types), and value:
+
+* *name* is how you'll refer to the variable
+* *type* refers to the kind of data a variable can store
+* *value* refers to what's stored in the variable
+
+### Var statement
+
+Use the Block Editor variable statement to create a variable 
+and the [assignment operator](/blocks/variables/assign) 
+to store something in the variable.
+
+For example, this code stores the number `2` in the `x` variable:
+
+```blocks
+let x = 2;
+```
+Here's how to define a variable in the Block Editor:
+
+1. Click `variables`.
+
+2. Change the default variable name if you like.
+
+3. Drag a block type on the right-side of the [assignment operator](/blocks/variables/assign) and click the down arrow to change the variable name.
+
+A variable is created for the number returned by the [brightness](/reference/led/brightness) function.
+
+```blocks
+let b = led.brightness();
+```
+
+### Using variables
+
+Once you've defined a variable, just use the variable's name whenever you need what's stored in the variable. For example, the following code shows the value stored in `counter` on the LED screen:
+
+```blocks
+let counter = 1;
+basic.showNumber(counter);
+```
+
+To change the contents of a variable use the assignment operator. The following code sets `counter` to 1 and then increments `counter` by 10:
+
+```blocks 
+let counter = 1;
+counter = counter + 10;
+basic.showNumber(counter);
+```
+
+### Why use variables?
+
+If you want to remember and modify data, you'll need a variable. 
+A counter is a great example:
+
+```blocks
+let counter = 0;
+input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => { 
+  counter = counter + 1;
+  basic.showNumber(counter);
+});
+```
+
+### Local variables
+
+Local variables exist only within the function or block of code where they're defined. For example:
+
+```blocks
+// x does NOT exist here.
+if (led.brightness() > 128) {
+  // x exists here
+  let x = 0;
+}
+```
+
+#### Notes
+
+* You can use the default variable names if you'd like, however, it's best to use descriptive variable names. To change a variable name in the editor, select the down arrow next to the variable and then click "new variable".
