The While loop ends here!
THE INFINITE LOOP
If the condition given in a loop never becomes false, then the loop will never terminate and run
indefinitely. This type of loops is called an infinite loop.
Example:
while(1)
print("Hello")
Output: Hello will be printed infinite times.
To come out of the infinite loop, we can either close the program window or press Ctrl + C. This
will break the running of the program. In fact, at any time during the execution of a program in
Python, you can press the key combination Ctrl + C to stop running the program.
THE JUMP STATEMENTS
Sometimes, there is a situation when the control of the program needs to be transferred out
of the loop body, even if all the values of the iterations of the loop have not been completed.
For this purpose, jumping statements are used in Python. Python offers two jumping
statements—break and continue, which are used within the loop.
The break Statement
The break is a keyword in Python which is used for bringing the program control out of the loop.
The break statement halts the execution of a loop and program flow switches to the statement
after the loop. A single break statement will break out of only one loop. The syntax of the break
statement is as follows:
A loop repeatedly executes a
#loop statement
block of code, just as a flock
of Starlings (birds) repeatedly
break
adjusts their formation.
