Infinite loops can occur unintentionally if you are not careful with the conditions of a while loop. In these cases, the infinite loop can cause the program to crash. However, infinite loops can be a very useful tool in programming. If your program needs to repeat a block of code an indefinite number of times, an infinite loop may be the correct approach. Repeating code is helpful, but it’s just as important to be able to stop the loop so that the rest of the program can continue executing. Loops can be stopped using the break statement. When the loop encounters a break statement, it quits running the loop and program flow continues.
