a series of instructions in a computer program which, when executed, cause a cyclic repetition of the same instructions, with no other action by the program, for as long as the program continues to be executed, or the loop is interrupted by some external action.
A program segment that repeats indefinitely. The only way to exit the program is then to press the ctrl/break combinations on the keyboard.
A loop that executes forever without terminating.
a loop that continues running indefinitely
a loop that never terminates
a programming blunder since it makes it impossible for the program to move on to the next task
a sequence of instructions in a computer program
a set of computer instructions that repeat themselves forever, necessitating an interruption (turning off the computer, for example)
a situation in which a loop statement never ends because its conditional expression is never updated or is never false
A loop in a program should have a terminating condition. If this condition is never met, then iterations of the loop will continue forever. This is a programming error or bug. See also Program and Bug.
Set of instructions that repeats continuously, or forever; properly designed programs should not contain infinite loops. 15.8
loop whose condition is never FALSE, and so never ends.
Infinite Loop is a street encircling the six main buildings of Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, California. Each building has a number which corresponds to its single-digit address on the Loop, and so Apple's official mailing address is "1 Infinite Loop". The numbers increment in the clockwise direction.
