How can I prevent infinite loops in my code?

How can I prevent infinite loops in my code?

To prevent infinite loops, ensure that your loop has a clear exit condition that will eventually be met.

Can you give me an example of a loop with an exit condition?

Sure! Here's a simple example in Python:

count = 0
while count < 5:
    print(count)
    count += 1

This loop will exit once count reaches 5.

What if I forget to update the loop variable?

If you forget to update the loop variable, the loop will run indefinitely. Always double-check your loop logic!

Are there tools to help detect infinite loops?

Yes, many IDEs and static analysis tools can help detect potential infinite loops by analyzing your code.
