question with rotation in c#

Unity Engine
1

I’m doing a transform rotation if you hit the left or right arrow keys.

building mainly a turret the player can control, I can get it to rotate per left arrow hit, but for that’s not gonna work well at all and i want to do a while left arrow is down but that locks the game up.

This is what I have so far.

public class turretbehave : MonoBehaviour {

 //public Transform Shot; to be used later
    public float rotateRate = Mathf.PI /6; // 30 degrees per second
    public GameObject turret;
	private bool spin = false;

	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
	turret = GameObject.Find("Player");
		spin = false;
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {
		
		if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftArrow))
		{
				spin = true;
		}
		else if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.RightArrow))
		{
			
				spin = true;
		}
		while (spin == true  Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftArrow))
		{
			turret.transform.RotateAround(Vector3.up, (rotateRate * Time.deltaTime) * -1f);
			if (Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.LeftArrow))
			{
				spin = false;
			}	
		}
		while (spin == true  Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.RightArrow))
		{
			turret.transform.RotateAround(Vector3.up, rotateRate * Time.deltaTime);
			if (Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.RightArrow))
			{
				spin = false;
			}
		}
	}
}

can someone give me a hand with getting my turret up and spinning in circles?

thanks.

i figured it out after some working with it. i ended up having to use GetKey instead of GetKeyDown
