Infinite Loops in Python

In Python, a while loop will continue executing as long as its condition remains True. If the condition never becomes False, the loop will run forever — this is called an infinite loop.

Example of an Infinite Loop

A infinite loop will make your system hang.

How to Stop an Infinite Loop

  • Press Ctrl + C in your terminal to interrupt execution.
  • Ensure that your loop has a condition that will eventually become False.
