Infinite loop

Alright kiddo, an infinite loop is when a program keeps doing the same thing over and over again without stopping. It's like a never-ending circle that keeps going around and around.

Imagine you are playing with your toy car and you place it on a loop track that goes around and around. Once the car starts moving on the loop, it will keep going around and around without stopping, just like an infinite loop in a program.

For example, if we write a code that says "start counting from 1 and keep adding 1 to the number forever," the program will keep doing that without stopping! It will never reach an endpoint.

Just like your toy car on the loop track, it will keep going around and around and never stop. This can be a problem for computers because programs are supposed to eventually stop, and if they don't, that's bad news.

So programmers need to be careful to avoid writing code that can result in infinite loops because it can crash the program and even the entire computer!
