infinite loops
Code that circles
An infinite loop is a sequence of instructions in a computer program that repeats endlessly because no condition ever terminates it.
Sometimes infinite loops are bugs—the program hangs or crashes.
Sometimes they're intentional, as in game engines or servers that run continuously until manually stopped.
The code entered an infinite loop and froze my computer.
