Welcome! This tutorial will teach how to create a counter with a while loop. Let's get started!
### ~
Create a variable that acts as a counter and set it to 0.
```blocks
let count = 0
```
Add a while loop that will loop over and over until the variable `count` equals 10.
```blocks
let count = 0
while (count < 10) {
}
```
Let's add a pause. Then show the value of the the count.
```blocks
let count = 0;
while (count < 10) {
basic.pause(100);
basic.showNumber(count)
}
```
Increase the value of count by one.
```blocks
let count = 0
while (count < 10) {
basic.pause(100)
basic.showNumber(count)
count == count + 1
}
```
