 After the completion of the loop, the loop variable value will be the end value + step value (unless
 the loop is exited using a **GOTO** statement).
 
+Conditional loops are achieved through the use of **WHILE-WEND** statements. The loop continues to execute
+as long as the specified condition remains true. The condition is evaluated before each iteration, so if
+the condition is false initially, the loop body will not execute at all.

+WHILE loops may be nested within one another and can also be nested within FOR loops and vice versa.
+The loop will terminate when the condition becomes false or when exited using a **GOTO** statement.
