An infinite loop is a programming construct where a set of instructions keeps repeating indefinitely, causing the program to get stuck and not progress further.
Ctrl+C: A keyboard shortcut used to terminate or stop the execution of a program. It interrupts the infinite loop and allows the program to continue running normally.
Fixed number of repetitions: This term refers to a loop that executes a specific number of times before it terminates. Unlike an infinite loop, which goes on forever, this type of loop has a predetermined end point.
Loop condition: The condition that determines whether a loop should continue executing or terminate. In an infinite loop, this condition is always true, resulting in an endless repetition.
