While(true ) statement understanding

Projects Programming

I have been looking a modifying some code and cant understand what the defines the true conditional in the while function.

while(true){//keeps running while true but what makes it true?
    if (digitalRead(hall_pin)==0){//every time hall is switched to 0 run if
      if (on_state==false){//already set to false so make true
        on_state = true;
        hall_count+=1.0;//count = (hall_count + 1.0) + new value of hall_count
      }

Any shafts of enlightenment?

Thanks

while(true)
Since ‘true’ is ‘true’, this will always evaluate.

Same as:
while(true==true)
