Sometimes we may not know when to stop the loop execution. In this case, we can launch an infinite loop, and then within the loop body, we set the 'stopping point'.

To launch an infinite loop, use while True syntax. To stop the loop execution, use the break keyword. If at some point you need to skip the rest of the code within the loop body and start again, you need to use the continue keyword.

For instance, assume that we have number 3 and want to reach number 6. All we can do is add 2 and subtract 1.

The loop above can be visualized as follows:

If we don't specify break in the first if, then we'll get an infinite loop because 6 is not satisfying any other condition but the first one. In that case, it prints us "Number 6 reached" an infinite number of times.

As you can see above, without the break keyword, all the actions will lead to the loop start.
