Infinite Loop

An infinite loop occurs when a set of instructions in a computer program repeats endlessly without a stopping condition. Think of it like a process that keeps going "round and round" without ever reaching an end, often due to a mistake in the code or missing a condition to break the cycle. This can cause the program to become unresponsive, use excessive resources, or crash. Infinite loops are sometimes intentional for ongoing tasks, but when unintentional, they usually indicate a bug needing correction.
