+# Break Out Of A While Loop
+
+The `while` construct is a great way to loop indefinitely. You may
+eventually want to break out of the loop. For that, you are going to need to
+invalidate the _while condition_. One way of going about this is creating a
+mutable ref, changing it from true to false when a certain condition is met.
+
+```reasonml
+let break = ref(true);
+
+while (break^) {
+    switch (Unix.readdir(currentDir)) {
+    | exception End_of_file => break := false
+    | item => print_endline(item);
+    }
+};
+```
+
+Here we have a mutable ref called `break` which starts as `true`. This is
+our _while condition_. Its actual value can be referenced by appending the
+`^` character -- hence `break^`. Once a certain condition is met inside our
+`while` block, we can set `break` to `false` using the `:=` operator.
+
+The above code snippet can be seen in full details
+[here](https://github.com/jbranchaud/basic-ls-reason-native/blob/master/src/Index.re).
