On running the above program, we get the following output:






















                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:

            #loop statement

                break
