Loops are generally aimed to repeat a particular set of statements until a given condition is fulfilled. However, there may be a case when a condition is never fulfilled, as a result of which statements are executed again and again. We call this “Infinite looping”. Hence, in other words, Infinite loops are the loops that run indefinitely until the program is terminated.

Consider the following Python code with while loop :

i=1
while(i < 11):
    print(i, end=' ')
    i += 1

Above code will print counting from 1 to 10. It will terminate when value of i reaches to 11. However, if we don’t write the last statement (i=i+1), then, loop will never terminate and hence will result in an infinite loop.

#Do_One_Thing : Take the below code snippet and try to execute this program on your system.

i=1
while(i < 11):
    print("There is no escape !")

That’s all you need to know about Infinite looping in Python. See you in the next lecture.
