What is an Infinite Loop?

An infinite loop is a loop that continues executing indefinitely without a condition that would cause it to terminate. This can result in your program becoming unresponsive or consuming excessive system resources.

Here's an example of an infinite loop in Java:

java

Main.java

To avoid infinite loops:

  • Ensure a proper termination condition: Double-check that your loop has a well-defined termination condition. The condition should eventually evaluate as false, allowing the loop to exit;

Example:

java

Main.java

  • Utilize loop control statements such as break or return to explicitly exit the loop when a specific condition is met.

Example:

java

Main.java

Note

Always remember to thoroughly review and test your code to detect and prevent infinite loops. Utilizing appropriate termination conditions and incorporating loop control statements can be highly effective in avoiding them.
