Program 8: To print square of numbers from 1 to 5

















                 Infinite Loop

                 A loop which never  ends is called  infinite  loop.  You  should avoid  such conditions while
                 programming. If a while loop condition does not become false, the loop runs for ever, creating

                 an infinite loop.
                 Example 1:
                 number = 1
                 WHILE (number < 10)

                 PRINT number
                 END WHILE

                 The above program will never end as the value of number is always 1, which is less than 10. So,
                 the loop will execute infinite times.
                 Example 2:

                 WHILE (True)

                     PRINT "Loop Never Ends"
                 END WHILE

                 In the above program, the condition True always remains true, so the loop will never stop. This
                 results in an infinite loop, continuously printing Loop Never Ends.

                                 Once the loop reaches its end, you use the keyword END WHILE to signal that
                                 the while loop will end. That way the loop does not continue forever, creating
                                 an infinite loop.
