Loops

Infinite loops

An infinite loop is a loop that never exits. This can happen for a few reasons:

The loop condition cannot possibly be false (e.g. while 1 != 2)
The logic of the loop prevents the loop condition from becoming false.

Example:

count = 10
while count > 0:
  count += 1 # Instead of count -= 1

Instructions

The loop in the editor has two problems: it’s missing a colon (a syntax error) and count is never incremented (logical error). The latter will result in an infinite loop, so be sure to fix both before running!
