Study Notes

In C#, an infinite loop is a type of while loop that continues to execute indefinitely until it is manually terminated.

The loop condition is always true
The loop body is executed repeatedly without stopping
Can be useful for tasks that need to run indefinitely, such as:
- Monitoring system resources
- Listening for network connections
- Handling user input

while (true)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Hello, world!");
}

This loop will continue to print "Hello, world!" to the console indefinitely until the program is stopped.

Infinite loops can cause programs to consume excessive resources, leading to performance issues or even crashes
Use infinite loops with caution and consider implementing mechanisms to break out of the loop when necessary

Use the break statement to exit the loop prematurely
Use a conditional statement to check for a specific condition and exit the loop when met
Use a return statement to exit the method or function

Example:

bool exitLoop = false;
while (true)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Hello, world!");
    if (exitLoop)
    {
        break;
    }
}

An infinite loop is a type of while loop that continues to execute indefinitely until manually terminated.
The loop condition is always true, and the loop body is executed repeatedly without stopping.

Useful for tasks that need to run indefinitely, such as:
- Monitoring system resources
- Listening for network connections
- Handling user input

Can cause programs to consume excessive resources, leading to performance issues or even crashes
Requires caution and consideration of mechanisms to break out of the loop when necessary

Use the break statement to exit the loop prematurely
Use a conditional statement to check for a specific condition and exit the loop when met
Use a return statement to exit the method or function
Example: using a boolean flag to exit the loop when a condition is met
